Johnny E Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Tuesday December 15 LIVE MUSIC Reptet, Andrew Oliver [JAZZ SCHMAZZ] If there were ever a genre that needed a little bit of goofiness introduced into the mix (you know, just to keep it honest), it would be jazz. This self-serious style of music is taken down a few pegs by the Seattle group known as Reptet, with its penchant for wacky costumes and goofball tunes like "Chicken or Beef?" The band is capable of reining in the piss-taking, though, as proven by its latest 7-inch, Agendacide, which features two sharp tracks of cool Sun Ra-style post-bop. ROBERT HAM. Doug Fir Lounge 9 pm. $8. 21+. Willamette Week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny E Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Reptet: Yes, Mr. Zappa, humor DOES belong in music! by Tom D'Antoni on December 14, 2009 Matt Groening likes them. What does that tell you? It tells you that the picture you see here does not lie. Reptet lives in Seattle and is comprised of John Ewing (drums/percussion), Samantha Boshnack (trumpet/flugelhorn), Tim Carey (bass), Izaak Mills (saxes/bass clarinet/flute/more), Christopher Credit (saxes/clarinet/bassoon/more) and Nelson Bell (trombone/tuba). I wonder if they studied “more” in college, or just picked it up along the way. They will be appearing at Doug Fir on Tuesday, December 16. Andrew Oliver’s Sextet will open. As Frank Zappa once facetiously asked, “Does Humor Belong In Music?” Reptet asks the musical question, “Chicken or Beef?” as the title of their latest album.
