Dusted Jazz Volume One

about this album

DUSTED JAZZ VOLUME ONE is a downtempo jazz EP by Los Angeles based trip-hop artist Jenova 7. Released on 9/13/2011 as a free digital download from the Dusted Wax Kingdom label (dustedwax.org). The EP is an intermission between Jenova 7's debut album SOUL FOR SALE (jenova7.bandcamp.com/album/soul-for-sale) and the upcoming album THE SOUNDS OF SECTOR 7 (jenova7.bandcamp.com/album/the-sounds-of-sector-7). The EP was completed in one month, and features a dark, raw and cinematic style that crests and troughs along its short path, ranging from nightmarish to dreamlike in sound. Jenova 7 is nom de plume of Michael J. Sirois, Boston born trip-hop musician and independent filmmaker currently living in Los Angeles. He is a member of the Dusted Wax Kingdom label. His genres include trip-hop, downtempo, jazz and hip-hop. His albums include "Soul For Sale" (2010), "The Sounds of Sector 7" (2011) and the free EP "Dusted Jazz Volume One" (2011).
