Jazz Punks: Jazz Punks: Smashups
By Track review of "Led Gillespie"A noteworthy example of the artists' output is "Led Gillespie," comprised of trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie's "A Night in Tunisia and Led Zeppelin's "Misty Mountain Hop." With soulful and jazzy interludes, hard-rock guitar licks and lightly swinging breakouts, the band translucently morphs a genre-hopping component into a common thread. During interludes such as pianist Danny Kastner's nimbly articulated solo, accelerated with weighty block chords, the band toggles between the rock and bop modalities, shaped with a soulful edge and a briskly paced gait.
The quintet proclaims a harmonious set of paradigms via a thoroughly hip campaign that offers insight into the boundless applications and possibilities inherent within the principal components of jazz.
