New Sex Mob on Ropeadope


Big Wheel

Recommended Posts

Been spinning this quite a lot over the past couple of days. I like this one more than the Bond album. There's this one style that Bernstein has really made his own over the years--kind of a New Orleans rock 'n' roll jam, but with a lot of stuff going on in the background--and they bust that particular groove out on "Baby Let Me Hold Your Hand," the highlight of the disc as far as I'm concerned. The band absolutely tears the roof off by the end of that cut.

Other personnel besides the core quartet: Roswell Rudd, Peter Apfelbaum, Brian Mitchell on wurlitzer, Doug Wieselman (cl), Marcus Rojas on tuba and Haitian trumpet (does anyone know what a Haitian trumpet is?), Dave Tronzo on slide guitar, Scott Robinson (slide saxophone, acl), John Kruth (mandolin), and Mark Stewart on something called "inventions" on the aftorementioned highlight.
