YEAH NO
USA
Chris Speed – tenor saxophone, clarinet
Cuong Vu – Ttumpet
Skúli Sverrisson – bass
Jim Black - drums
“Yeah no” isn’t a “maybe.” It is the short-form of “I get what you’re saying, but I disagree.” That’s made to measure for this quartet, which, since its foundation in New York in 1997, has been dedicated to an authentic and uncompromising interpretation of their own idea of freedom in Jazz. Led by saxophonist and clarinetist Chris Speed, drummer Jim Black, trumpeter Cuong Vu, and bassist Skúli Sverrisson deconstruct expectations and confidently jump around between jazz and rock, folk traditions and minimalism, sometimes droning as in the funeral march for Latin pianist “Eddie Cano,” sometimes menacing as in the folky “Camper Giorno,” often whimsical and out as in the melodic massacre “He Has A Pair Of Dice.”
