Théo Ceccaldi Freaks

01. Théo Ceccaldi Freaks - Amanda Dakota, 2018 CD Album      Tricollectif - TRICO 15 It is not often that this kind of album pierces the crust of the old, stubborn metal mammal. But when it does, there is rejoicing at every level. For what we have here is tagged as "contemporary jazz", which is a very scary label. But fear not, there is enough weirdness and darkness to make up for the lack of chainsaws. Plus it is quite heavy, the drummer being far from shy. Crazy sax, crazy violins, crazy keys, crazy everything over frantic rhythmic pulses and yes, doom. One fan of that classic first Mr. Bungle album and of the darker Zorn things might fall in love, and the disciple of King Crimson on speed might also raise an eyebrow. This is not lounge music. This is jazzerification of the wicked freaks!  Remove brackets and unzip: [of nature] !ZER Théo Ceccaldi Freaks ZER!
