German electro-jazz duo Nighthawks' second album 'Metro Bar', originally released in 2001, now on striking black & orange double LP in gatefold sleeve. It confirmed them as leading artists in nu jazz - specialists in combining cool grooves and atmospheric samples, over which a clear voice and a sole trumpet sing stories from the big city. Sometimes cuttingly articulate, sometimes touched with longing. Just as their hit debut album 'Citizen Wayne' was a calculated collection of ironic references to the spaghetti western genre (and its musical maestro Ennio Morricone), as well as nocturnal city impressions, 'Metro Bar' is a more purely urban soundtrack.Tracks like "Tomorrow Evening" or "Think Positive" are the perfect accompaniment for the journey to the next club, whilst "Direction Downtown" evokes the atmosphere of a well-filled establishment at blue hour. "Nightflight" transports you directly into the midst of the heady atmosphere of a Quentin Tarrantino movie. Images from the inner screen, concentrated and processed for a performance in the listener's head. Cinema for your ears. No question: Nighthawks have set off for new heights with 'Metro Bar', soaring high above the neon lights of the night skyline.
