If anyone reading this has connections for concert or night club venues or even festivals around the time of the DC date, or can help us in any way it would be much appreciated!

    Posted · Edited by randissimo

    Bud Spangler leaves a huge void in the Bay Area jazz scene. He was a great drummer, a very knowledgeable jazz historian and a great producer as well as an inspiration and mentor to many! Bud was my welcome commitee in December of 19985 when I first got to the Bay Area. RIP Bud Spangler.

    "Reptet, a six-piece Seattle Jazz collective, places a premium on greasy swing yet plays with a punky irreverence." (TimeOut NY)

    "Part mutant New Orleans brass band, part Sun Ra orchestra and part Skatellites...these guys can be downright awe-inspiring" (Chicago jazz.com)

    Reptet, the original ambassadors of the much-heralded new Seattle music scene, are on the road again! Their new full length CD entitled, At the Cabin (Artists Recording Collective) hit the streets earlier this year and the band will be touring the U.S. in support of it in May. This tour is marked by debut performances in Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Kansas City and Denver.

    more about REPTET

    Reptet is a Seattle-based group consisting of six multi-instrumentalists: Samantha Boshnack (trumpets, vocals), Nelson Bell (trombone, tuba), Izaak Mills (tenor sax, bass clarinet, flute, vocals), Chris Credit (baritone sax, tenor sax, alto sax, clarinet), Tim Carey (double bass, bass guitar, banjo) and John Ewing (drums, percussion, vocals). One of the early exponents of the once again booming Seattle music scene, Reptet’s previous CD releases, Do This! (Monktail 2006) and Chicken or Beef? (Monktail 2008), gained world-wide recognition and led to the group's subsequent national and international tours. Many other Seattle bands have followed suit and the world is just now waking up to the intensity, dynamism and esthetic of the NEW Seattle music scene.

    more about AT THE CABIN

    At the Cabin is Reptet's premier release on Kansas City-based Artists Recording Collective (ARC). This is Reptet's fourth full length CD, and fifth release overall. It was recorded in June 2010 at a cabin in Index, Washington and produced by Reptet. Engineering, mixing and mastering was done by renowned Seattle music engineer Mell Dettmer (Eyvind Kang, Mr. Bungle, Skerik's Syncopated Taint) at Aleph Studios, Seattle. The CD is accompanied by stunning cover art by the late great jazz illustrator, Jim Flora. The cover is a one-of a kind letter-press creation courtesy of Now It's Up To You Publications based in Denver, CO. The recording was made possible, in part, by a grant from Washington State's King County cultural services agency, 4Culture.
