"You don't sound like anyone else," said Danny Thompson - renowned bass player for Nick Drake and Joe Strummer - about English musician Conil.

The GRAMMY-winning engineer for Tom Waits and Elvis Costello, Tchad Blake said: "Strange Part of the Country is an awesome album! I still listen to it."

Fleetwood Mac legend Peter Green liked Conil's music so much he stopped by Conil’s house to record with him. They recorded a version of Conil's homage to the jazz greats "Round Midnight". 

Strange Part of the Country never conformed to any current trends and has remained timeless. Now, people are discovering this album and it is becoming an all-time favourite. 

When the album was released in the UK, it received some amazing press. Britain's biggest selling music monthly Q magazine gave it: "Four stars - Q Recommends". Blues Matters magazine wrote: "One of the most original artists out there". In the next issue, Blues Matters put him on the front cover.

Conil left London after Strange Part of the Country was released and has spent the last ten years living in the United States and Europe - including New Orleans, New York City, and Berlin.

I'm a baritone sax player & composer in a contemporary jazz genre from Cologne, Germany (and play clarinet and flute, and the other saxes as well). All woodwind parts on these tracks are played by me (multitrack rec.), all other instruments by virtousi virtuali (with three or four exceptions). All arrangements and by far most compositions are by me.
I very much appreciate every kind of collaboration.

Hi! While I "follow" and "<3" some artists and tracks I do not necessarily agree with their views. However this is my channel, enjoy la nostra creazione beatamente. I am a solo artist who has gotten some help through the years from a very few other artists. Sorry if the sound quality is not up to par, I had not the faith to go all the way, experiment to get to the next lvl, I'm proud of my work.

I'm a trap player, locked in with the drummer. That's were I live. 

In tandem with the drummer; following his moves, and him following mine. 

Always with the trap. In, on and around the trap. Yeah. 

i set up on the drummer's left, so we face each other when he's playing on his high-hat (sock cymbal).  

In synch with the drummer and his hi-hat. Playing "on the hat."
