I put this group together in 2011 with the main focus being on rhythmic intensity and the power of grooves and intense interplay. We play original tunes of mine blending our diverse backgrounds in an open, expansive manner. I guess you could almost call it “world music”, or a mixture of Deep Purple and Afro-Cuban music! In writing for this group I feel like I draw from my whole history of playing in bands. The selections tend to be rather jammy, possibly danceable pieces.
Anders Nilsson- electric guitar
Satoshi Takeishi – drums & percussion
David Ambrosio – bass & drums.
We perform a few times a year, mostly at Barbès in Brooklyn. People who have sat in with us include Brahim Fribgane – our & cajon, Peter Apfelbaum – horns & shakers, Rob Garcia – drums, Tim Keiper – ngoni & percussion, Gerald Cleaver – drums, Daniel Kelly – synth. I hope to record this group one day….
