Proverb Trio

Drummer/composter Prieto and friends deliver some way cool funky jazz with improvised freestyle lyrics and playing. Produced without rehearsal this is an on-the-spot record of one amazing day in the studio. It demonstrates how first rate and creative this group is and conveys that immediacy with style and playfulness. You need to be open minded and without pre-conceived notions of what you will hear. Which means I almost feel guilty about reviewing this as I think it’s best you just hit play and see what you get. I loved, loved, loved this one. To let you experience the same sense of “I have no idea what’s coming next” I am adding no opinions, just an indication of tempo to help you gauge how it’ll fit in your set. Kokayi on vocals deserves special note. This guy is amazing!
