JM-2116-1 (LP) & JM-2116-2 (CD)
On its second album this very groovy band around drummer Andi "Miami" Weiss plays again real COOL funky stuff, as the group name indicates. Austrian masters of groove-Jazz, like Christian Havel and Thomas Kugi are featured, completed by the strong rhythm of Erwin Schmidt(organ), Herfried Knapp(b) and Anton Mühlhofer(perc). A mix of big/well known songs and some originals are brought in the fine, honest sound of the band! Two Bonus Tracks feature Winfried "Windy" Gruber as vocalist with a slightly different Line-up (Uli Langthaler on bass, Harry Gansberger on organ, percussion omitted).

This is the 2nd album of Fuse Bluezz in the extended CD version! All titles recorded at ORANGE STUDIO, Vienna - in Corona Times 2021, except Tr 04, which was recorded live at music club REIGEN (Vienna) and tracks 03, 06, 07, 11 & the vocals of 09 recorded in 2024. We spared most of these tracks (as a follow-up for our album „Blues Indeed“ (Jive Music JM-2100) for the better days to come after Corona! That didn‘t really work! GAZA, RUSSIA and the CLIMATE do their best to spoil the world for the coming years! So for us it stays „a hoping and waiting" On these tunes though there is more positve feeling and humour!
All music is produced, arranged, engineered and mixed by RENS NEWLAND, who also played or programmed several keyboards & percussions , plus sang some backvocals. A lot of input and inspiritation came from the co-initiator of the project: PETER GRUBER. Mastering by Robert Eder at Artist Studio, Vienna Band photos by Ziggy Miller , Cover design by Rens Newland for GRFX

HERB CARUSO
Christmas time is for the crooner HERB CARUSO the most wonderful time. Suddenly everyone wants to hear Christmas ballads, so he can serve with pleasure and passion, as he has played countless Christmas concerts and has already released some of his favorite songs on CD or VINYL. But this year there is a premiere: RENS NEWLAND composed, produced and arranged a Christmas song for HERB, a romantic swinging and groovy one Ballad that immediately inspired him. The title YOU COULD BE MY ChristMISS was sung in late summer and it was decided to release an EP with further Xmas highlights from CARUSO's repertoire. With an instrumental version as the last track, some gentlemen can even surprise their loved ones with a singing performance at Christmas time.

This is the 2nd album of Fuse Bluezz! Rens Newland's roots were the Blues! Way back in the 60s in Holland. His journey went over Experimental Pop, Fusion, Funk, Jazz, Latin, Rock, Studio, etc.. But he loves to come back to these roots now and then! Co-initiator of the project is Peter Gruber, from whome came a lot of input and inspiritation and who plays the bass here! Vocals are again taken over by Ric Toldon! Drummer is the young Simon Springer. Keyboard man Martin Wöss added some piano and synth additions. Again the basic sound is of course build on Mr. Newland's guitars, here he uses some of his dearest instruments, like Gibson Les Paul custom, ES 335 and L5, Fender Strato and Tele, Godin Red Line, Parker Fly and Takamine Acoustic Steel. The tracks once more show the broad possibilities of the Blues in form and sound: Delta Blues, Funkblues, Jazzblues, Rockblues and more. Some instrumental tracks are of course also part of the concept! All the music is by the bandleader and most of the lyrcs are, one is by Ric Toldon and one by Lional Lodge, a former partner of Mr. Newland.
All titles recorded at ORANGE STUDIO Vienna - in Corona Times 2021, except A.04, which was recorded live at music club REIGEN(Vienna). As a follow-up for our album „Blues Indeed“ - (Jive Music JM-2100) we spared these tracks for the better days to come after Corona! That didn’t really work: other catastrophies came direct with it and after it! So it stays a „hoping and waiting“... All music was produced, arranged, engineered and mixed by Rens Newland
