Post Modern Trap Music

by Teodross Avery

supported by

ayheisler Drum and bass duos by an absolute powerhouse tenor, evoking Rashied Ali's duos with Coltrane and Arthur Rhames. "Coltrane Van Halen" seems to be inspired by both EVH's "Eruption" and JC's "Miles' Mode." Dr Avery has a rare combination of a beautifully rich low register and extraordinary control of the upper partials. An unexpected feature is the phaser-like effect which has been applied to the whole record, and may be a witty nod toward the more usual definition of "trap music." Exhilarating! Favorite track: Coltrane Van Halen.

Avery, currently head of Jazz Studies at the California State University Dominguez Hills, has played with everyone from Art Farmer, Hank Jones, Roy Ayers and Roy Hargrove to Lauryn Hill and Amy Winehouse.

Post Modern Trap Music is a collaboration with drummer Marvin "Bugalu" Smith (Sun Ra, Archie Shepp, Chet Baker) in the spirit of duo albums of the 1960’s and 70’s such as John Coltrane’s Interstellar Space and Frank Lowe & Rashied Ali’s Duo Exchange.
