Artist:Up, Bustle and Out
Song:Coffee at Senor Roody's
Album:Light 'Em Up, Blow 'Em Out
I would describe Up, Bustle and Out as an instrumental Acid Jazz group. They had modest success in British dance clubs. They are from Bristol, England which is also the home of Tricky and Massive Attack. Rupert "Senor Roody" Mould and David "Clandestine Ein" Fell formed Up, Bustle and Out mainly to experiment with world music styles along with jazz, funk and trip hop. After a couple of singles, they signed with Ninja Tune owned by pioneering hip hop duo Coldcut. Coffee at Senor Roody's appears on Up, Bustle and Out's 1994 debut album The Breeze Was Mellow (As The Guns Cooled In The Cellar). Mould wrote most of the songs and he plays most of the instruments. He brings in guests like sax player Vicki Burke and singer Sharon Wynter. After the 1996 album One Colour Just Reflects Another, they released the 1997 CD Light 'Em Up, Blow 'Em Out which has songs from the first two albums. For the 2000 album Rebel Radio: Master Sessions Vol. 1, Cuban flutist Richard Egues was brought in. Mould likes to travel the world looking for field recording that can be used. I think Acid Jazz fans will be interested in Up, Bustle and Out. They last recorded in 2009. Since then Mould has left music for literature. He earned a PhD in Comparative Literature at Bristol University and currently is an environmental journalist. Here's a video for Coffee at Senor Roody's by Up, Bustle and Out.
