IMPROVISATIONAL: Blood and Bone Orchestra (2/20)
Published by Saby Reyes-Kulkarni on Feb 13, 2007
This local, improvisational five-piece mashes together free jazz with rock stylings for a volatile, yet often delicate, mix. BABO consists of five highly sophisticated visions that not only crystallize on the spot, but slam, slide, combine, and re-combine together. Influences include Sun Ra, Cecil Taylor, the Boredoms, and the MC5 (whom saxophonist and quasi-frontman Ed Downey played with in the late '60s). The group chemistry, a constant flux between cohesion and contrast in five dimensions, results in music with truly unique shadings and shapes.
Blood And Bone Orchestra plays Tuesday, February 20, at the Village Gate Atrium, 274 North Goodman Street, 271-3354, 8 p.m., $8 suggested donation. www.bopshop.com.
