4.0 out of 5 stars DISTINCTIVE August 17, 2000
Format:Audio CD
Is jazz too limiting a word? Tin Hat Trio makes a case in point. While certainly jazz oriented, they owe more of a debt to Charles Ives than to Charles Parker. Are they rooted in jazz? No less than they are rooted in the Serialist and Art music tradition. Yet, they certainly are capable of swinging. I think it is fair to say that they neatly encompass several strands of 20th century music including jazz. A Life in East Poultney starts it off showing a little more of a tendency to branch out into different styles than they had shown on Memory Is An Elephant. An Irish folk feeling prevails rather than the harmonic minor shuffle that endures through most of the first album. The second track is more reminiscent of the first album having that sort of Europe between the wars vibe. Throughout the album one can hear strands of Chet Atkins, Bill Frisell, Tom Waits (included on the final cut by the way), Stuff Smith, Alban Berg and a virtual potpourri of different musical styles. Country, Klezmer, Swing, Italian restaraunt music, there's alot to choose from here. My only complaint: A couple of the tracks really swing (#11,#13). I would have really loved to hear these themes developed further and improvised on. An excellent album-eccelectic yet still very much restrained. Their influences are all over the map, yet their sound is very distinctive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soundrtack for a Strange sot of World April 23, 2000
Format:Audio CD
I just recently got this cd, it is a wonderful mix of styles, i don't really know what to call it. it seems like a perfect soundtrack for something that could be happening in our everyday lives, a complex storywork of music. It is at times bohemian, wild and gypsyish, a real mesh of things. It reminds me of somewhere foreign, maybe a drippy dark day paris, or italy, running through the alleyways trying to escape something, dancing in the gutters......Tom Waits guest appearance is excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Rewarded for Listening Carefully April 22, 2000
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Though the rhythms and melodies on this CD are enough to catch ones attention on the first listen, the extraordinary level of detail and wide range of sounds gives it a depth that rewards repeated listenings. These thoughtful, talented and sophisticated musicians have crafted an innovative and satisfying set. Though this has fewer improvised flights of fancy than Memory is An Elephant, it too has a bright energy and shows ample imagination. The tunes are well-ordered and the final Helium Reprise featuring Tom Waits is a wonderful surprise.

Accordion, violin & banjo (or sometimes dobro, harmonica and viola) make a bluegrass/Klezmer kind of sound, although the compositions tend toward a more cinematic sweep. Read more
