Details:
On this self-titled release, you will hear harmonica, guitar, and bass. Marcus Milius, Scott Kacenga, and Pete O’Connell are three Brooklyn musicians, trained in jazz and making their mark in original music. The various projects they are in are too numerous to mention here, so let’s talk about the album…
You hear many influences on this album, and pinning down a classification is difficult. In most cases you’ll find Krasdale in the jazz stacks (do they even have “stacks” anymore?), however it is by no means a run of the mill jazz record. The all-acoustic instrumentation and soulfull harmonies are as closely related to Americana as to jazz.
This album was recorded in Brooklyn in two sessions. All tracks were recorded live. In fact, if you listen closely, you might even hear the occasional out of tune instrument. But little problems like that lie a distant second to the energy of this album, and Krasdale deserves our appreciation for creating something truly original and beautiful.
