Little fluffy clouds of music, occasionally darkened by sonic thunderheads; with a sunny lining of stringed instruments and live performances now and then.

For a number of years Monkeyworks has been bending jazz improv in on its left ear. This New Jersey musical collective adds a dash of electronica to its sound, its seven-plus members swelling in a "Bitches Brew-style" swirl of sound. Monkeyworks recorded a set for Irene in WFMU's "Love Room" and the resulting controlled chaos was presented for your ears' delight, accompanied by commentary from the ensemble's lead guitarist Ian Smit. |

Steve:
This layin low jazz is perfect for today's rain; we do not get it too often in southern Cal.

Hello Irene,
I missed 'Espers' this weekend:( . Living at the shore makes fit rough to get into the city, especially w/ the weather. Did you attend?

Mon. 12/7/09 3:18pm
AnAnonymousParty:
Yeah, but it's 'cool' fusion.
Mon. 12/7/09 3:22pm
Parq:
Aha, I thought that sounded like the Mahav. I don't didn't dig this orchestral stuff as much as the early quintet stuff, but it's all good.

Woah. Black Fortress of Opium is an apt name for that band if that song was any indication. Almost like a soundtrack to some version of the Kubla Khan poem.

Yeouwch, Irene has gone off her rocker!

Thought that was part of the song.
Mon. 12/7/09 4:55pm
Steve P.:
Irene is now an official member of Monkeyworks for mixing that in!

Will have to find a station emergency system box and add it to my rig along with the CD Data from the ++0+ session. Irene, you always find a way to make it better!

This sounds familiar.

Cathy:
I'm really starting to understand this. Scary for someone whose musical taste hangs out in the '40s and early '50s.
