Gnigler - Straight On, Downstairs, 2nd Door Left
Heavily influenced by Masada, this Viennese-based sextet‘s release received big praise on the Free Jazz Collective blog. I’m not quite as enthusiastic. Primarily, the problem is the motifs the songs are based on just aren’t that clever. They have cliche klezmer hooks that I don’t feel inclined to hang my hat on.
It’s on Spotify if you want to see if you agree.
