Anders Svanoe / Brad Townsend / Nick Zielinski: Mantis
BySchizophrenic? Yes, but there is a method to the trio's madness with their mission is to get you to shake some booty. "Skeddadle" is the epitome of 60's soul jazz, one you might have associated with Blue Note's Leo Parker. Svanoe blows those boss bari notes before his hand clapping accompanies his partners. Townsend matches the baritone's weight on "Monk In The Land Of Oz" paired with some Clyde Stubblefield inspired drumming. When the trio turns to a ballad, "Rosy Cheeks," the light dims and the sound bleeds a most gentle graceful charm. We are entertained.
