“Hot, sassy, mellow, and what a way for a newcomer to latin jazz to be introduced. The music on this CD cannot help but bring you up no matter what your mood is. „Carcara“ rocks one can't help but to shake your shoulders and move your feet and „Up from the sea it rose“ will make think of hot latin tropical nights. Its all good real good a must for anyone new to latin jazz.(Customer review, Amazon.com)
New World was an Australian pop group that existed from the mid-1960s to the late 1970s. They are best known for their Top 10 hit single, "Tom-Tom Turnaround", which was released in 1971. Most of their biggest successes were written by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman. Broad of collar and bright of shirt, New Zealand's New World exemplified the kind of bright-eyed, lightly sentimental folk-pop that threatened to devour the UK charts of the early 1970s. Pre-glam, pre-prog, and almost prepubescently harmless, the trio emerged out of British television's Opportunity Knocks talent show and briefly threatened to become their homeland's biggest ever export. Especially after the all-conquering combination of label-head Mickie Most, producer Mike Hurst, and songwriters Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman ganged up on a generation's ears and soft-soaped them into submission.
