ensemble has played in the past.
September 3, 2008: Strings, Emeryville
Our newest CD release, Soul Cafe, is available
now!
SF's pickPocket Ensemble follow
up their fine fourth album Fingerpainting In Red Wine with Soul
Cafe, an ep of seven songs drawn from an intimate live performance
at a venue called Strings. As always Rick Corrigan and co. conjure
somber, slinky atmospheres from their ensemble of violin, double
bass, guitar, accordion, and percussion. Although we file their
cds in the jazz section of aQ, their sound is far-reaching, stretching
across genre and regional borders to incorporate elements of Klezmer,
swing jazz, Balkan gypsy folk, classical chamber, Asian and African
rhythms. Terrific! - Aquarius Records
