Skerik, the endearingly saxophonic, punk jazz iconoclast, introduces his latest project Bandalabra. Joining him are three of his fellow Seattle hometowns most revered players: Andy Coe on electric guitar, Evan Flory-Barnes on upright bass and Dvonne Lewis on drums. In Skeriks words, Bandalabra is intended to conjure the sounds of Fela Kuti meeting Steve Reich in rocks backyard. A bold assertion, but one for which the music bears witness. Together, the quartet syncopates and snakes, floats free and snaps tight with hypnotic afrobeat rhythms, minimalist canons and improvised harmonics. Theres a duality that demands listeners both dance communally and get lost in their daydreams...
