Notes
Smoking Time Jazz Club is celebrating their tenth year as a working traditional jazz band in New Orleans. There is a coruscating musical tradition to draw from in the city of New Orleans and their aim is to bring that music and those great musical ideas into the future and to play them with reverence and gratitude for those who created and lived them.
The sounds on their new album Mean Tones And High Notes grow hair go blind and explode. The horns growl, hiss, cough and squeak as notes bend, break, weaken, collapse and leave home. Rhythms spill over in syncopation and are compulsively juggled in handfuls then flung wildly away.
