I love this CD, but I haven't heard anything else quite like it either...

But Andrei -- I think that's the whole point of the CD -- he didn't put those
chords in there to 'sound jazzy', he used samples from actual jazz records
and manipulated them. So even though we can't even tell whether the sounds we
hear originally came from piano, guitar, kalimba, or whatever, we can still
hear the original notes that were played -- jazz chord voicings. I think the
abstract jazzy vibe is cool...
