Audio Mixer: Josh Clark.
Arranger: Talibam!.
The word "humorous" is seldom used to describe avant-garde jazz, but trombonist Ray Anderson and the Reptet can be delightfully humorous, as evidenced on this 2009 release. Pianist/keyboardist Matthew Mottel and drummer Kevin Shea aren`t jazz purists or acoustic snobs by any stretch of the imagination, but free jazz is a major ingredient here. Talibam! combine electric free jazz with a variety of rock styles (including punk, noise rock, and psychedelic rock) and have also been influenced by funk, soul, blues, and ska. For all its abstraction and eccentricity, the album has grooves and hooks that listeners can easily sink their teeth into, and unlike most electric free jazz, BOOGIE IN THE BREEZE BLOCKS uses vocals extensively (singing as well as spoken word and bits of goofy dialogue).
