about

IN 2013, NoCoasters INITIATED A D.I.Y. RECORDING EXPERIMENT. OVER SEVERAL YEARS WE WORKED TO CAPTURE SONGS AND OPEN IMPROVISATIONS ONTO ANALOG TAPE IN THE FUNKY MUSIC LABORATORY FONDLY KNOWN AS THE "JET CUBE", A REPURPOSED CONCRETE JET BLAST DEFLECTOR ORIGINALLY BUILT FOR THE U.S. NAVY.

THE MATERIAL ON THIS ALBUM REVEALS THE QUIRKY AND VARIED INFLUENCES OF THE GROUP IN FULL FORCE.

ALL OF THE MUSIC CONTAINED HEREIN WAS RECORDED LIVE TO TAPE - WITH NO EDITS, NO FIXES AND NO OVERDUBS.

about

NoCoasters Oakland, California

NoCoasters is an innovative jazz trio comprised of three top-call musicians who all escaped their Midwestern (ie. no coast) upbringing for a life in the San Francisco bay area: LEE BLOOM (piano), BRANDON ESSEX (bass) and CARRIE JAHDE (drums). We hope you enjoy our original compositions, improvisations, plus reinvented jazz, Latin, pop and even country standards. ... more
