SticklerPhonics explores a world of brass ‘n’ skin on debut album Technicolor Ghost Parade featuring drummer Scott Amendola, trombonist Danny Lubin-Laden and tenor saxophonist Raffi Garabedian. The trio revels “in a situation where there’s no bass and no chords,” Amendola says. “Our sound is ever evolving and there’s a feeling we can go anywhere.”
“Danny and I are so melodic together and Scott brings this groove element, so I try to consider all those elements”, says Garabedian.
Lubin-Laden adds, “SticklerPhonics feels very exposed, but there’s this freedom in being able to accompany each other when we take solos,” says Lubin-Laden.
From traditional jazz polyphony and ambient soundscapes to funk and free jazz. The trio can generate fierce grooves and render through-composed pieces with the textural acuity of a chamber ensemble.
“Well Blazed" highlights what Scott Amendola has been going for a long time: incorporating electronics: looping pedals, delays, DJ type sounds, into the drum kit. On “Well Blazed” everything was done live. “The fast swing melody ‘interruptions’ came outta nowhere”, says Amendola. “When I’m writing, things just come up and I go with them and if they work, awesome! This track shows how we’re mixing the traditional with the future.”
Technicolor Ghost Parade plunges into the unmediated terrain that opens up in the absence of the usual guidelines, the trio revels “in a situation where there’s no bass and no chords." The band is a volatile combo that draws on a vast continuum of jazz practices, from traditional jazz polyphony and ambient soundscapes to funk and free jazz. The trio can generate fierce grooves and render through-composed pieces with the textural acuity of a chamber ensemble. The canny use of electronics expands their sonic palette to the horizon.
