A club, record label, band and movement all-in-one, the Nublu Orchestra is committed to developing and creating new sounds and music. The Lower East Side institution is comprised of talented musicians from jazz, funk, pop, fusion, Brazilian, R&B and classical genres, "but the music we make is none of these," comments Butch Morris, conductor of the Nublu Orchestra.
On the recently released self-titled album, Morris conducts band members from Wax Poetic, Love Trio, Kudu, Brazilian Girls and others, using signals of his own invention to relay real-time arrangements and compositions. The methodology unites musicians in their playing regardless of their technical, stylistic or cultural differences. The result is a free-form combination of avant-garde jazz, folk, funk and techno forming an improvisational hypnotic sound. Get the album from iTunes or Amazon.
Nublu Orchestra will play at Nublu every Monday in April at 10 pm. They will also be playing with the Sun Ra Arkestra, another band offering unique philosophic twists, this Friday 13 April 2007 at the Paul Robeson Theater in Brooklyn, NY. Click here for more information.
