Drummer Wally Schnalle's 6th release as a bandleader features Jeff Massanari on guitar, Murray Low on keyboards, Charles McNeal on sax and Jason Muscat on bass. These 10 new tunes from Schnalle combine funky grooves, hard blowing jazz, virtuosic soloing and great interplay between these fine musicians. Wally's music is a challenging musical terrain built with changing time signatures and his distinctive melodic sensibilities. One reviewer has labeled Wally's music "avant funk." And though it may be complex at times, the solid grooves are catchy and even the casual listener is engaged. •Pacific Northwest tour planned for Feb 09, CD Release event at Yoshis in Oakland Feb 09, Southern California tour May 09.
