Industrial Jazz Group: Industrial Jazz A Go Go!
ByDurkin's doo-wop piano bass line sets the mood for "Doo-Wha? , inserting expansive modulations within the first minute. Shaunte Palmer's trombone initiates a cyclical groove that rolls its own. A fiery trumpet solo terminates in a fanfare series that kicks the gear and becomes a beautifully raw tenor trio rave-up. Staggered horns, blues scoring and individually voiced chords swirl through "Elmore Was Here, until they coalesce into Hell's own boogie. "Bandoleero, Part One takes an affectionate tour of Tiajuana, a fine soprano sax solo appearing along the way. Barely a postscript, "Bandoleero, Part Two retains a Latin flavor, but with greater harmonic liberties.
A swaggering baritone opens Truth and the Abstract Blues, and after a long loping vamp with blazing alto, the ensemble turns funky and the baritone starts preaching. "Cannon Indie presents a brief horns-only madrigal, then Durkin's strident piano bass returns us south of the border for "El Grupo De Jazz Industriale. "Baby, Shake That Thing blows a jumped-up gospel riff into a stately blue section that dissolves into Bobby Blue Bland land. A brisk alto trio blows the structure skyward.
Industrial Jazz A Go Go invites the listener along on an affectionate trip through several genres, each rendered with skill, love, and more than a little mischievousness.
