MOSTLY OTHER PEOPLE DO THE KILLING – RED HOT

Incredible sounds from this ultra-hip group – a jazz combo who blow us away again again with each new recording! This time around, Mostly Other People Do The Killing take on the sounds of trad jazz – but in a way that gives the whole thing a very avant spin, and pushes the music far past any expectations you might have! True, the lineup features the kind instrumentation you'd hear in a New Orleans combo – soprano sax, trombone, and even some banjo – but there's also some electronics in the mix, and some very free, loose rhythms from bassist Moppa Elliott and drummer Kevin Shea – and excellent piano from Ron Stabinsky – which makes the whole thing really take off. Plus, you've got Jon Irabagon on both soprano and c melody sax – played with a very offbeat edge – alongside trumpet from Peter Evans and bass trombone from David Taylor – a lineup that's full of surprise throughout. Titles include "The Shickshinny Shimmy", "Zelienople", "Red Hot", "King Of Prussia", "Gum Stump", and "Turkey Foot Corner". ~ Dusty Groove

TIM BERNE’S SNAKEOIL - SHADOW MAN

A great mix of shadow and noise from Tim Berne's Snakeoil group – one of the best projects he's created in recent years, and a group who really set a new sort of fire to Berne's imagination! There's a wonderful blend of texture, tension, and individual expression going on here – modes that are initially familiar to an ECM setting, but which often break free with the sort of energy that Tim brought to his music years back – especially when his alto sax takes off in some searing solo moments. The group features Matt Mitchell on some especially great piano – very spaced, but very powerful – plus Oscar Noriega on clarinet and bass clarinet, and Ches Smith on drums, vibes, and percussion. Titles include "Static", "Psalm", "OC/DC", "Socket", "Cornered Duck", and "Son Of Not So Sure". ~ Dusty Groove
