Twang-daverius:
Here's three people you all have to hear. Now the genre is more
contemporary "outside' jazz and not twang, but once you hear
them your life will no longer be the same.
1 - Leroy Jenkins:
he's in his seventies and can still be one of the most exiting
solo players you have ever seen. and he's a sweetheart.
You can hear him in Henry Threadgill's Very Very Circus
and other out groups.
2 Regina Carter: the queen is a monster. Check her out
on the String Trio of New York's Octagon and tell me you
know a stronger player. She also plays in Quartett Indigo
was featured on a Mark dresser Cd and has done
some smooth jazz records, but is happily
dumping that last habit of late.
3 Billy Bang: Regina replaced himin The String Trio. another
monster. check his duos with Kahil El'Zabar of the
Ethnic Heritage Ensemble.
