“What do you get when you combine an American saxophonist, a self-proclaimed “total gringo” bassist and a French drummer, playing progressive jazz in Europe? There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. But The Kandinsky Effect, composed of Warren Walker (saxophone), Gael Petrina (acoustic and electric bass) and Gautier Garrigue (drums), sure as heck blow the roof off the joint trying to figure it out for themselves.

The group’s self-titled release finds it turning a number of seeming roadblocks into advantages, creating an organic, forward-thinking record.”

Best of 2010 (So Far)

The Kandinsky Effect, The Kandinsky Effect (SNP Records). This came out January 1st, and to my mind, it has yet to be bettered; available apparently only as download. Favorite track: “Girl/Boy Song” (track #5)
