Trippin' On Coleman by Sunn Trio / Sam Shalabi , released on Unrock in 2021.

***A Non-Western concept split album. The Coleman classic „Lonely Woman“ , deeply Middle- and South-Eastern adaptded and re-arranged by two different artists. Arranged by Joel Robinson, Arizona’s Sunn Trio are transmitting the track into a different genre with dilruba (a north-Indian instrument similar to the Sarangi), Tabla, Tanpura, Guitar, Cello, Knife, Bells, Drums & Percussion to the hazy banks of Ganges. The soundtrack for a Punjabi opium-coma. Egyptian composer Sam Shalabi (Dwarfs Of East Agouza, Land Of Kush, Karkhana, Shalabi Effect) re-arranged the track for solo oud – delightful, complex, warm and elegant with the background of an experienced improviser.

Ended Wednesday and started Thursday with Radiowaves by The Sunn Trio released on The Paper Knife in 2015.

"There's a woozy, heatstroke feel to the band's innovative blend of surf rock, free jazz, mystical drone, and world music. Consistently recording and releasing material via self-distributed cassettes, the Trio's sound mutates in concert, with fantastic flurries of distorted guitars butting up against mantric psychedelic saxophone runs and looping bass." - Jason Patrick Woodbury

"The scorching heat of the Arizona day, and the complementary soothing coolness of its night, is whence Sunn Trio emerges. Playing a punk-spirited, Arabic-music-tinged free jazz, the ‘trio’ release cassette recordings of their live performances since at least 2015, with Radiowaves.."

Electric Esoterica
by Sunn Trio, released in 2020 on Twenty One Eighty Two Recording Company.

...Enter Sunn Trio. A punk trio that is influenced by Middle Eastern psych, free jazz, and improvisation..The group is built around Joel Robinson and has had as many as eight-to-ten members in recordings and live performances, but more recently has been focused on a trio that composes music that challenges every notion of what rock, punk, or psych can be; however, at the same time, the music is crafted with improvisational focus and middle eastern influence that should be the basis for this generation's new music. Robinson makes his melody maker sound like an oud, rabab, and even at times a gamelan when he isn't using these instruments to generate the lead lines to the compositions..Urgent music for urgent times... - Bandcamp
