Brad Dutz: When Manatees Attack
by Erik R. Quick
Percussionist Brad Dutz has an astounding range of performance and recording credits, from Leo Kottke and Kiss, to Frank Sinatra and Kenny Loggins. On When Manatees Attack, the Los Angles based musical chameleon both inspires and confuses. The result is a strange mix of improvisatory eclecticism rooted within twentieth century classicism. Although compositional in texture, the ...
Jim Connolly and The Gove County String Quartet: Jim Connolly and The Gove County String Quartet
by Troy Collins
Jim Connolly and The Gove County String Quartet is the debut of the Santa Barbara-based composer's newest ensemble. Leader of the mercurial chamber music septet The Gove County Philharmonic, contrabassist Connolly largely eschews the Philharmonic's eccentricities in favor of a more refined approach. While the larger Philharmonic tends towards cinematic flourishes and a circus-like ...
Emily Hay - Brad Dutz - Wayne Peet: Emily Hay, Brad Dutz & Wayne Peet
by AAJ Italy Staff
Si avverte una profonda sensazione di libertà all’ascolto dell’ultima prova discografica del trio Emily Hay-Wayne Peet-Brad Dutz. A cominciare dall’assenza del titolo e delle note di copertina, una mancanza di punti di riferimento che costringe il fruitore a costruire un proprio percorso d’ascolto, lontano da condizionamenti o false suggestioni. E la latitanza di materiale scritto non ...
Emily Hay / Brad Dutz / Wayne Peet: Emily Hay / Brad Dutz / Wayne Peet
by Troy Collins
A summit meeting of West Coast talent, this self-titled release features flutist Emily Hay, keyboardist Wayne Peet and percussionist Brad Dutz blending styles and genres into an unclassifiable mix.

Brad Dutz: When Manatees Attack
by Jim Santella
As percussionist Brad Dutz leads this improvising quartet in a program of his own compositions, he draws a connecting line between the classical music literature and modern jazz. With instruments such as oboe, English horn, cello and clarinet, you get the distinct feeling that you're sitting in on an afternoon of chamber jazz in a small ...

Brad Dutz: When Manatees Attack
by AAJ Italy Staff
When Manatees Attack è un lavoro piuttosto sorprendente per chi è abituato ad ascoltare musiche che ruotano all'ambito della classica contemporanea. Non che il suo compositore, il percussionista americano Brad Dutz, si presenti al pubblico con l'intenzione di sovvertire l'ordine costituito, nè si propone come testa di punta di una qualche avanguardia. I sette pezzi da ...
Brad Dutz: When Manatees Attack
by Mark Corroto
Growing up with Warner Brothers cartoons created a subliminal soundtrack for life. Certainly the rising notes you heard in your head were for someone walking up a staircase, then there was the creeping-around-the-corner music. Later we learned this music was all produced with great thought and skill by Carl Stalling and an orchestra of highly skilled ...
