Drawing from the traditions of Sun Ra, the Art Ensemble of Chicago as well as Miles Davis in his '60s and '70s electric period, multi-instrumentalists Steve Rush, Tom Abbs and Geoff Mann expand the trio format to new heights. From frenzied free-for-alls to delicate compositions, Yuganaut take the music out into outer space and back.
Stephen Rush: Fender Rhodes, Moog, bells, recorder, slide
whistle, euphonium, maraca, ocarina, harmonica, voice, frog clave, turkey, duck
& elk calls |
