From Baltimore’s Orion Sound Studio:
BUSHMAN´S REVENGE
This young and extremely eminent trio mixes the energy of rock with the freedom of jazz in the most exciting and exhilarating ways. UK magazine Jazzwise called their previous album ”insanely good” and likened them to Jeff Beck being backed by Elvin Jones. It´s possible to find several references in their music, but quite difficult to name other groups that they actually sound like. If you dig Jimi Hendrix, Red period King Crimson, Albert Ayler,Coltrane and heavy electric jazz it´s very likely that you will find plenty to dig into here as well. Needless to say, we highly recommend this great trio.Even Hermansen-guitars
