La Makita Soma

Monkey Island

Abridged

Amazing. Six instrumental songs trampling over the boundaries of jazz and rock with diverse instrumentation and a fresh approach. This is a group assembled by Dan Snazelle, formerly of Bill Ding, with Jay Dandurand of Lustre King setting the foundation with drums and percussion. The rest of the ensemble provides atmospheres and textures by way of vibes, guitar, bass, turntables, keyboards, violin, and trumpet. A kaleidoscope of lush sounds perfectly fused together through masterful songwriting. Instrumental grooves that please many different sides of my musical palette.
