Making Avant-Garde Jazz in a Mostly Killing Climate
The record business is a sinkhole no matter which way you turn. But in this troubled economy, Moppa Elliott chose an especially tough path: playing in an avant-garde bop band named Mostly Other People Do the Killing, and starting his own tiny jazz label, Hot Cup. Elliott, 30, a bassist/composer born in Factoryville, says, “Look, we're ...

Chi sentenzia che da parecchio tempo a questa parte il jazz americano produce poco o nulla di interessante e che il futuro della musica afroamericana si trova nel Vecchio Continente, basta vedere cosa succede a casa nostra, nelle terre scandinave o nei paesi balcanici, dovrebbe ascoltare, tra gli altri, dischi come questo. Nulla di rivoluzionario, si ...

The cover of the third release by the avant-bop quartet Mostly Other People Do the Killing (MOPDtK) suggests the obvious for anyone who has listened to this excellent ensemble. They reference the classic 1960 Ornette Coleman Quartet Atlantic recording, This Is Our Music, not only by the precise, though humorous position of its members on the ...

by Troy Collins
A cheeky play on both Ornette Coleman's classic record This Is Our Music (Atlantic, 1960) and the name of a small town in Elliott's home state of Pennsylvania, This Is Our Moosic is the third studio album from bassist Moppa Elliott's terrorist bebop band Mostly Other People Do The Killing. Bolstered by a youthful visceral intensity, ...
Mostly Other People Do the Killing: Shamokin!!!
by AAJ Italy Staff
Immaginate. Immaginate di essere seduti in platea al Birdland o al Cafè Bohemia. Metà anni Cinquanta. Aria viziata, notte fredda e davanti a voi un tumbler con ghiaccio e whisky. Al tavolino accanto due adescatrici provocanti e succinte, dal cicaleccio sguaiato e irritante. Sul palco Art Blakey e i Jazz Messengers nella loro primissima incarnazione, con ...

Mostly Other People Do the Killing: Shamokin!!!
by Eyal Hareuveni
New York-based quartet Mostly Other People Do the Killing sounds like an updated incarnation of Steve Bernstein's Sex Mob, more in spirit than in sound.
