New Sounds
Almost Jazz
Show #2580
Monday, November 05, 2007
For this New Sounds show, sample some recent recordings of works that stretch the definitions of jazz. Listen to Sex Mob's latest record "Sexotica" with its riffs on of the booze-drenched lounge feel of 50's bandleader Martin Denny. The results are playful and adventurous, and with the electronic splicing after the free expression (courtesy of GoodandEvil - Brooklyn producers Danny Blume and Chris Kelly), sound like a primal reinvigoration of exotica. Also, listen to pianist Jason Moran’s work, “The Shape, The Scent, The Feel of Things” a commission for the Dia Art Foundation, which accompanied performance/video artist Joan Jonas' abstract video piece. Plus, music by the unpredictable trio of Bill Frisell, Ron Carter, and Paul Motian, who take “Pretty Polly” and let it timeshift and almost swing, with a blend of skewed folksiness and behind-the-beat blues phrasing.
