Brass Lightning - Getaway (Feat. Nick Ellman)

Grotesqualizer

Louisiana instrumentalists Brass Lightning, supported by the member of jazz-funk sextet Naughty Professor, Nick Ellman, are demonstrating their outstanding first single off of their upcoming July debut LP “Consonance.”

“Getaway” opens with two powerful baritone saxophones, transmitting a massive, punchy sound. Then the musicians deliver Southeastern Europe-esque melodies that feel like a wild ancient dance by the fire. By 1:20, Brass Lightning are back with their mighty horncore, now showcasing saxophone solo passages to Indian percussion. “Getaway” is an extraordinary and mesmerizing thing, where jazz avant-garde and traditional folk music are skillfully mixed.
