5.0 out of 5 stars These guys kick A$$., April 19, 1999

This review is from: Brand Spankin New (Audio CD)

Zony Mash is a mix between Medeski, Martin, Wood, and John Zorn's "Naked City" style, not surprising being that frontman Wayne Horvitz was in "Naked City". Their style is rocking-funk/smooth grooves and great composition. This is not your typical 4 man band that plays standard funk, this is a bit on the edge of avant-garde, but not quite reaching that realm. If you haven't heard them, you need to, NOW. IMO, they take a backseat to nobody. Both the newest album and the first album are equal in quality, and I say don't hold back, buy both.

Zony Mash successfully walks the line between serious, avant-tinged jazz and MMW style jam music. Honestly, I don't get into the latter, but I really love this album.

How do you know when you *really* like an album? After you hear it over and over, you start buying other CDs by the same artist. But THEN, you notice that the other CDs are not as good as the first. BUT you loved that first one so much, you just keep buying and buying the artist's work, hoping you'll eventually find another one as good as the first.

After BRAND SPANKIN' NEW, I bought all of the other Zony Mash albums, Wayne Horvitz's solo stuff, and albums by his other bands, The President and Pig Pen. None of them are quite as good as this, but most of them get very close.
