THROTTLE
ELEVATOR MUSIC WITH KAMASI WASHINGTON – THROTTLE ELEVATOR MUSIC IV
The best
album so far from Throttle Elevator music – thanks to some fantastic saxophone
from Kamasai Washington! The group was always pretty good before – but this
time around, they really rise above their past – and also have Washington
handling all the arrangements on the record, which gives them a spiritual sound
we never would have expected! Core group members include Gregory Howe and Matt
Montgomery on guitars and piano, Mike Hughes on drums, and Erik Jekabson on
flugelhorn and trumpet – but the presence of Washington is what really seals
the deal, on tracks that include "Gibraltar Road", "We Can Work
With That", "Sweet Spot", "No One To Vote For",
"Boeske Trail", and "Throwing The Switch". ~ Dusty Groove
