Thursday, 30 April 2009

The thrilling Siamese Fighting Fish features drummer Dave King, bassist Anthony Cox & guitarist Dean Granros.

 "If you haven't heard of Anthony Cox you should check out any of the more than one hundred recordings he's been chosen to be on by musicians like Geri Allen, Dewey Redman, Dave Douglas, John Scofield, Pat Metheny, Gary Thomas, Marty Ehrlich, Ed Blackwell and Joe Lovano ... His bass sound is full of beauty and warmth and his ability to accompany and still add very creative ideas into whatever music he is playing is remarkable. He is equally comfortable playing chord changes with a Stan Getz or Kenny Wheeler or playing open music with a Dewey Redman or Geri Allen. His technique is absolutely awesome and his solos are full of wit and wisdom." - Peter Madsen, All About JazzImage

"Dean Granros is a musical Jekyll and Hyde, mild mannered when he takes the stage and settles into the groove but eventually he will play like a madman taking the music where no sane person would and then makes it beautiful when he gets there. With solid chops and a jazz sensibility, this player demonstrates mastery of his craft and the music. Granros blends the vocabulary of bebop, acid rock, and delta blues into a delightful and potent cocktail that may leave you shaken or stirred." Don Berryman, Jazz PoliceImage

Dave King (Happy Apple, The Bad Plus, 12 Rods) is quoted in Modern Drummer Mag “I bring everything I feel to the music; I’m not trying to make it rational and pretty. The death knell of all art is when people get comfortable. A lot of drummers have their riffs, they don’t take chances, and they don’t play dramatically. You have to pull yourself out of your comfort zone to try something new.”
