It is always very exciting and challenging for a band to record a new album with a different line up and still maintain the sound of the band. Within the first minutes of recording Bye-Ya was assured that their new setup (with Brian Lynch on trumpet and Enrique Firpi on drums) was perfect to achieve the unique Bye-Ya!-sound, Latin jazz with a strong emphasis on jazz. Further Arrivals consists mostly of original compositions.

The title song ‘Further Arrivals’ is a composition by Brian, played in a very open Guaguanco-style, it is a Latin-jazz theme in ‘Bye-Ya! tradition’.

‘Dance The Way You Want To’, another tune of Brian’s is a funky Cha-Cha, an
homage to the Boogaloo–era.

Descarga #1 is a tune by Mick and is a Cuban style 6/8 descarga.
Another composition of hers is the beautiful ballad ‘Downunder’, played as a Bolero.

‘Mellotone’ and ‘Tranquilidad’ are two Latin-jazz tunes composed by Randal.
‘Tranquilidad’ as the only quartet piece on the album is a piano feature with a beautiful Montuno at the end.

Zum 10j�hrigen Bestehen der Band g�nnt sich die Band aus internationalen K�nstlern eine neue Standortbestimmung des Latin Jazz. Elemente der karibischen Musik harmonieren perfekt mit der Offenheit des Jazz f�r Einfl�sse aller Art, das beweisen erneut Bye-Ya! mit ihrem dritten Album. 'Die f�nf Musiker von Bye-Ya! f�hlen sich in beiden Musikstilen h�rbar zu Hause. Sie wissen sie spielerisch und originell miteinander zu verbinden, tun dies aber nicht - wie so viele andere - auf Teufel komm raus.? (jazzdimensions.de)
