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."

October 11, 2008 | New Wail: Resist Temptation

Perennial JazzMando friend Sims Delaney-Potthoff announces the arrival of Harmonius Wail's latest CD, "Resist Temptation." Sims, the band's mandolinist/leader studied with the legendary jazz mandolinist Jethro Burns, whose influence is huge on the core of its unique acoustic string sound, as well as its charismatic take-no-prisoners comic stage persona. He also studied with Matt Glaser at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, immersing himself in the Gypsy Jazz of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli. Sharing the stage with lead singer and wife, Maggie, the Madison, Wisconsin based group has been together since 1987. (Talk about longevity; that's staying power for bands and dog years...)

The band takes an unusual departure from their signature Gypsy repertoire and tackle "songs of Tom Waits, Steely Dan, The Velvet Underground and a handful of other bands and solo artists that are generally associated with a rock music sensibility." Same acoustic instrumentation, witty delivery and charm, all with a whole new song terrain.

If you've not been a "Wail" fan before, no better time to jump on than right now!

CD availiable at iTunes and Amazon.com
