11 MP3 Songs
JAZZ: Progressive Jazz, AVANT GARDE: Structured Improvisation
Details:
Reptet is a genre bending band of musicians based out of Seattle, WA. Often categorized as a "jazz" group based on instrumentation (they are a sextet consisting of drums, bass and four horns) these six multi-instrumentalists have a far more expansive approach, performing original compositions that incorporate reggae, rock, ska, punk, modern classical, avant garde, eastern European folk influences and more. Their internationally acclaimed 2006 release, "Do This!" (Monktail Records) was an Independent Music Awards finalist for Best Jazz Record of the Year and was chosen Top Jazz CD of the year by Jazziz magazine''s Alex Gelfand. They also won two Earshot Golden Ear Awards (celebrating the best of northwest jazz), including Best ''Outside'' Jazz Group and Best Performance of the year (as part of the Monktail Raymond Scott Project). In 2007, Reptet criss-crossed the United States exhaustively touring in support of "Do This!". In May of 2008, Reptet will be releasing their third CD on Monktail Records entitled, "Chicken or Beef?" and plan on touring Europe, Asia and (once again) the US. Their live performances have been described as, "arresting, compelling and just plain cranked-up!" with stage shows evolving into transformative performance art pieces using costumes, story telling, dance routines and absurdist humor. Reptet have proven themselves to be a unique and utterly enthralling multi-leveled experience leaving audiences wanting more.
