[Dixielandjazz] No, it ain't OKOM . . . BUT

[Gluetje1 at aol.com]

Sorry, Steve.  Can't quite supply you via YouTube with what the  review 
described.  The vocalist/guitarist in this YouTube is one of  the trio that was 
reviewed in the article you posted.  This YouTube trio  not quite same 
personnel.  I would call this presentation avant garde  folk -- but then what do 
I know.  :?)  Any how sort of interesting to  see a four string banjo 
bowed.  I have also seen/heard some intriguing  aural effects laying the banjo 
across lap and playing it with glass or  metal as in dobro approaches.

Moving closer to OKUM, here's Brandon Seabrook in a fine (IMO) Klezmer  
group:

Chant".

P.S. Thanks for the surfing "stimulus".  :?)

Couldn't  resist posting this review of an  avant garde jazz infused  
punk  rock trio, Seabrook Power Plant,  lead by a Banjo Player   
described as the "World's Least Rustic Banjo Player".

Ginny  L,  Bruce McN and other banjo players may get a kick out of it,   
as might John Petters, other drummers and upright bass players,  given  
the descriptive first paragraph.

If I were a little  closer to NYC, I'd go see them. How could one  
resist  "The  Waltz of the Nuke Workers" or "Ho Chi Minh Trail"  or "I  
Don't  Feel So Good". <grin>

Cheers,
Steve  Barbone
