    Holy shit those lungs of Theon. Just two days ago I saw them in Hamburg and at one point he soloed. And no shit, the sounds he could produce with a tuba were just insane. From playing multiple notes simultaneously to making it sound like a tuba. I had no idea a tuba could even make those sounds. And he just keeeeeeept going and going, I guess it ended up being around 10 minutes of him playing solo non-stop. Just insane.

    Shabaka Hutchins (tenor) is usually considered the star of this band, and he's great - but it absolutely depends upon Theon Cross, grunting away on the Big Horn.
    What a monster! What a pair of lungs!
    Decades ago, I saw Lester Bowie's Brass Fantasy, and he made this introduction: "And now, the man with the Lips Of Steel, playin' that tuba all night long - BOB STEWART!"
    That's Theon, too. The whole band's sound reminds me a bit of a slimmed-down version of Henry Threadgill's Very Very Circus.

    I always expecct two drummers to be chaos.. these two play together perfectly. These musicians are playing something very new that pulls influences from all the the great bebop, hard bop and Avante jazz of the 50's 60's and 70's .

"Cool...cool....do you have a bass player? Don't need a bass player...I have a tuba guy. Woah....that's awesome. So....sax and tuba. Anything else you're thinkin' about? "Yes....two drummers!?" So....saxophone, tuba and two drummers. Something tells me you're not going to be playing BEATLES covers. "We could. And lots of other cool stuff." Sounds good to me.

    Where are they living? What language are they speaking? I'm seeing the most elaborate shapes and colours. All I know for sure is that I do not have control of my body listening to these 4 discoverers.

      I highly doubt that the world of science will ever have the capacity to go as far into the jungle as this. Like, my sober brain doesn't know what just hit it. Thank you to all 4 of you, very very special stuff
