#3765: Post-Everything Music
Hear instrumental rock music, which garnered the term “post-rock” back in the 1990’s with bands like Tortoise, Rachel’s and Slint. For this New Sounds, listen to Tortoise, and then what happens when elements of jazz improvisation, chamber music instruments like strings & winds, minimalist keyboards are added to the music.
Sample three Chicago-based bands who blend folk, rock, chamber music, minimalism, and improvisatory elements of jazz. There’s minimalist-inflected jazz-folk music from bassist/composer Matt Ulery, something from "post-rock" folk jazz quartet Darts & Arrows, and music from Tortoise. Then, dip further south with “post-rock” indie jazz music by Kenosha Kid out of Athens, GA, led by guitarist Dan Nettles. There’s also music from the Louisville, KY-based octet Liberation Prophecy with their combination of big band jazz, Americana and rockenroll. Plus, music from experimental post/prog-rock duo Ahleuchatistas from Asheville, NC, and more.
