MOLE
WHAT'S THE MEANING? (RARENOISE)
What's The Meaning? Is the first release of the Mexican / Argentinean /American quartet that has been touring Europe and South America extensively over the last two years.
Mole picks up the thread left by EST and aspires to join Phronesis in the pantheon of contemporary piano (and in Mole's case guitar) - driven jazz formations.At the center of Mole are the incredibly swinging, timeless compositions of pianist Mark Aanderud (whose endless list of collaborations includes playing the piano on The Mars Volta's Opus Octahaedron) driven forward by the relentless jazz, rock and drum'n bass beat of Argentinean master drummer Hernan Hecht (producer of Ely Guerra's last album "El Hombre Invisible" and drummer on Brainkiller's RareNoiseRecords' release "The Infiltration"), duetting here with no-less than Wayne Shorter's guitarist David Gilmore, whose guitar work has the fluency of mid period Mahavishnu John McLaughlin and Al DiMeola at once and accompanied by the elegant firm hands of Mexican upright bass player Jorge Luri Molina.
