RE: Jazz ethic
anyone interested in seeing a "jazz ethic" brought to electronic music has GOT TO check out Herbert live.
OMFG.
he samples noises from his mouth, the sound of ripping paper (and boxer shorts!) and other things live, fiddles about on an old akai for a second or two, gets an abstract beat going, then runs back to sample through a second mic thats hooked up to verious stomp boxes. etc. things get nuts but always musical.
played in NYC with a two man horn section, second keyboardist, and Diane something, the DOPE vocalist from his Bodily Functions album.
they was a bit of playback too, but given all the live improve that was going on on along with it, it didn't matter a bit.
highly recommended.
