New #review today: "#SimonHanes is a fixture on the New York #AvantGarde scene, frequently working with #JohnZorn, #JGThirlwell, and others. Gargantua is a new work composed by Hanes featuring what I refer to as an E.U.I. — Ensemble of Unusual Instrumentation. The ensemble in question features three soprano vocalists, three French horns, three trombones, three electric basses, and three drum sets." #ExposeOnline http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/simon-hanes-gargantua-2.html
Then: short walk up to Barbès and who wouldn't? One of my favorite new local jammers is Tsons of Tsunami. I believe Billy Martin might be a permanent member now. Simon Haynes' band has a uniquely excellent sound and a free spirit. I've said it before, but every time reconfirmed, it's Zappa meets Zorn.
