Local band doing modern jazz with Middle Eastern/Klezmer ideas tossed in here and there. Sax and clarinet backed by bass/drums and occasional guests – fun stuff, accessible but with an edgy feel. Lots of odd time signatures!
1- Happy poppy; builds a tumbling momentum
2- Free blast intro, into mysterious theme of long lines
3- Mid/fast, low-key feel, cool accordion solo
4- w/female vocals, a forceful swirl. Then quietness
5- Burly, slowish – sinewy theme on baritone sax
6- Fast criss-crossing theme
7- Slow off-kilter waltz with spoken poetry
8- Slow feel with fierce interludes. Strong beat near end
9- Small drunken melody, mid/fast. Slow middle.
10- Satie tune, peaceful swaying countryside theme. Gets more stern at the end, like an Egyptian processional
11- Blonde Redhead cover! Chipper and swingy.
