it was from bands back in the day in cambodia and the music was tight. full rhythm sections and grooves. matter of fact it was Asian Jazz meets brazilian and it was nice.

Asian music meets carlos Jobim and it was really unique and fresh.

What is the name of the band?

called something like Thai Beat A-Go-Go. I haven't heard the whole thing but the track 'Ding Dong' absolutely slayed me, and apparently has become something of a standard as there are many versions of it.

Production originally had me thinking the track was Jamaican produced ca. 1968.

I dunno about Cambodian jazz. I listened to a fair amount of Japanese jazz and some blues while I lived there, but most of the SE Asian music I've been exposed to is traditional on some level rather than popular. Except in Myanmar, where my enduring memory is sitting in a tea shop in the sweltering heat on the road from Yangon to Mandalay while a Burmese-language version of 'All Right Now' blared from the speakers.

The funny thing is that my ex-who is thai-HATED those songs so much, this one in particular:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eE5F3tsIf-Q

Anyway, really fun stuff and highly recommended...

learned it from a mix my brother made for my kid several years ago.

He's actually listening to it tonight going to sleep, and requested that I program it to skip that song.

Because I LOVE some of the Jazz shit that comes from Japan, but it's not "Asian Jazz", it's Traditional ( classic ) Jazz and or Soul Jazz or Brazilian shit played by Japanese cats*.

Meaning, you can't listen to it and tell the players are Japanese.


So are we talking about Jazz with Asian influences?

back in the day. I remember reading that in guide books, then seeing it referenced by the genteel folks in 'Burmese Days' by George Orwell.

I did have the pleasure of hearing a live saing-waing performance while traveling there. Didn't strike me as jazzy but could hear how it would do so for those who thought of jazz in a certain way at a certain time. Definitely no Jobim though...
