Koop's debut finely melds the hipster/lounge sounds of acid jazz guru Gilles Peterson. Lush orchestration and hard bop rhythms make it a pleasing sensation, and rotating vocalists--Cecilia and Yukimi, Earl and Terry (both wrote their own lyrics)--add strength. Retro melodies enhanced with modern sounds create a fusion that pays homage without sounding derivative. Elis and Chet would fit in on a mix tape with any of its songs.
