Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

November 25, 2007 | Absynth Quintet: Kevlar Mariachi Pants

With a CD entitled "Kevlar Mariachi Pants" you know you're in for a heap of fun. The Southern California based Absynth Quintet have just released an eight song collection recorded live in October 2006, mastered this August and is jam packed (pun intended) with crowd-pleasing fun. Featuring JazzMando regular, Chris "Bird" Jowaisas on mandolin, the other four include Tofu Mike Schwartz on drums, Rudy Luera on upright bass, Ian davidson, banjo and Ryan Roberts, guitar. This is cutting edge music, as they say on their website, "landing somewhere on the infinite spectrum between jazz and bluegrass. It's funky, progressive and will get your feet moving. Their music defies definition, at times hinting at gypsy jazz, and at other moments leading the listener on a rich, seamless, musical odyssey."

Sometimes gypsy, sometimes psychedelic rock, these guys give it their best in high energy acoustic entertainment. Take sometime to view their website, or listen to the sample tracks on their MySpace page:
