Irene Trudel: Playlist from December 7, 2009

Live set from Monkeyworks (On this session: Richie Arlington: guitar manipulations; Kevin Brown: bass; Jeff Eldridge: farfisa, accordion; Barry Leaman: electronic manipulations; Steve Meltzer: percussion, electronics; Steve Peckman: woodwinds; Ian Smit: guitar and soundscapes)
For a number of years Monkeyworks has been bending jazz improv in on its left ear. This New Jersey musical collective adds a dash of electronica to its sound, its seven-plus members swelling in a "Bitches Brew-style" swirl of sound. Monkeyworks recorded a set for Irene in WFMU's "Love Room" and the resulting controlled chaos was presented for your ears' delight, accompanied by commentary from the ensemble's lead guitarist Ian Smit.

Mon. 12/7/09 3:07pm Steve:

This layin low jazz is perfect for today's rain; we do not get it too often in southern Cal.

Mon. 12/7/09 3:09pm Hugh:

Hello Irene,
I missed 'Espers' this weekend:( . Living at the shore makes fit rough to get into the city, especially w/ the weather. Did you attend?

Mon. 12/7/09 3:17pm mick:

is this fusion ??

Mon. 12/7/09 3:18pm AnAnonymousParty:

Yeah, but it's 'cool' fusion.

Mon. 12/7/09 3:22pm Parq:

Aha, I thought that sounded like the Mahav. I don't didn't dig this orchestral stuff as much as the early quintet stuff, but it's all good.

Mon. 12/7/09 3:28pm that:

met a caroline this weekend. when media matches..

Mon. 12/7/09 3:37pm Cecile:

thank you, Irene.

Mon. 12/7/09 3:56pm Parq:

A group called Sonus does a really haunting a capella version of this Radiohead song.

Mon. 12/7/09 3:57pm postmanpaul:

hi irene, steve, hugh, mick, ananonymousparty, parq, that and finally but not least, cecile! mmm, radiohead. you groovy gal irene!

Mon. 12/7/09 3:57pm Ike:

Woah. Black Fortress of Opium is an apt name for that band if that song was any indication. Almost like a soundtrack to some version of the Kubla Khan poem.

Mon. 12/7/09 4:05pm Steve:

Yeouwch, Irene has gone off her rocker!

Mon. 12/7/09 4:05pm Steve P.:

Me gusta Afroskull!

Mon. 12/7/09 4:32pm coloring pad:

Math with flowers. Weirdos.

Mon. 12/7/09 4:36pm coloring pad:

I could've sworn that song was originally titled CF...

Mon. 12/7/09 4:51pm Steve P.:

Awesome! Nice "station test" interspersed there!

Mon. 12/7/09 4:54pm coloring pad:

Thought that was part of the song.

Mon. 12/7/09 4:55pm Steve P.:

Irene is now an official member of Monkeyworks for mixing that in!

Mon. 12/7/09 4:57pm coloring pad:

++0+ . Buddies in Parlin NJ . 8:00 . January 16th

Mon. 12/7/09 4:59pm coloring pad:

Will have to find a station emergency system box and add it to my rig along with the CD Data from the ++0+ session. Irene, you always find a way to make it better!

Mon. 12/7/09 5:07pm coloring pad:

here's the flikr page she just mentioned...

Mon. 12/7/09 5:16pm coloring pad:

Know what that session needed? Piano.

Mon. 12/7/09 5:29pm Teeter:

This sounds familiar.

Sun. 12/27/09 3:40pm Cathy:

I'm really starting to understand this. Scary for someone whose musical taste hangs out in the '40s and early '50s.
