Eastern European folk music meets Sun Ra. Simple quirky melodies with adventerous harmonies over heavy odd meter grooves, with the unusual instrumentation of bass clarinet, trumpet, accordion, guitar, bass, drums and tabla.
Bio / Background
Gubbish existed for about 5 years with an ever revolving cast of players. The concept was keep the song structure of simple jazz "head-solo-head" forms, yet create a different sound using unusual harmonies, odd meters and unexpected chord changes.
There are obvious heavy nods to John Zorn, Sun Ra and Miles Davis, yet I think an originality of composition squeezes through with a stylistic consisency throughout the record.
Other things to note are the unusual instruments that create a group "sound" to the record. Of special interest to me is the blend of tabla and accordion. These two (Sameer Gupta and Dan Cantrell) spent almost all non musical downtime (either at gigs or in the studio) geeking out on different Indian and Balkan rhythms.
Drummer Ches Smith always sounds amazing, and I was lucky enough to be able to play so much music with him.
