SENOR COCONUT & HIS ORCHESTRA
Smooth Operator (reissue) (7" + insert)
Jet Set Japan
Cat: JS7S 314. Rel: 4 Apr 22
Broken Beat/Nu Jazz/Nu Soul
Side 1. Smooth Operator Side 2. Beat It
Uwe Schmidt's SeNor Coconut project was a delightful curio of the 00s, as he took a break from myriad techno aliases to create vibrant Latin covers of pop hits. Drawing from the first Coconut album, 2003's Fiesta Songs, this 7" revisits two of the most successful re-versions Schmidt created. On the A side we have a luxurious take on an already luxurious anthem, Sade's 'Smooth Operator'. This is no token sprinkling of salsa samples, but a startlingly accurate homage to the Latin music tradition which is as sincere as it is fun. The same goes for the version of 'Beat It' on the B side, which turns the tempo up and embraces some frantic percussion diversions in the middle of the action.
