Touring nonstop you meet all kinds. Hence, the amusingly titled new album by instrumentalists Marbin references a misadventure with overzealous fans. But the title could also describe this quartet’s musical approach. There certainly is a jam band ele ment that is organic and cerebral, combined with a hyperactive improvisational and rhythmic aesthetic. The band’s sharp interactivity and ability to shift gears at a moment’s notice is finely tuned. Saxophonist Markovitch wails with the harmonic complexity of Coltrane coupled with the fluidity of Charlie Parker. Guitarist Rabin matches him note for note and the results will floor you!
