| | Lower Monumental Mayday Session: Live On Sonarchy CD Lower Monumental Discography of CDs
Two-thirds of the group formerly known as Flatland return for a new debut with this one, a recording of a live improv session on one of Seattle's better avant-garde radio stations. The music is relatively similar to that of Flatland, with the notable removal of a bass and addition of a sax, courtesy of Saul Cline, a session player occasionally with Matt Jorgensen + 451. The atmosphere is particularly spacey here, but generally aims for the relaxed mood rather than the excited improv of the classic free jazzers (Ornette Coleman, Albert Ayler, etc). There is some movement here and there, generally clashing sounds until a coherent whole can emerge from the wreckage. It's a nice romp through contemporary electric free jazz, a subgenre that too often finds its way into rock fusion anymore. ~ Adam Greenberg
The debut recording of Portland's Lower Monumental documents a live performance for Seattle's KEXP radio show "Sonarchy." Totally unrehearsed or preplanned, Lower Monumental's performances take jazz into unfamiliar ambient and picturesque territory. Aide

Kelly Jocoy is a dynamic drummer with exceptional touch and a driving sense of rhythm. He has brought together these very gifted musicians to produce this humble yet inspiring CD. Collaborating with the musical genius of Peter Sprague, this music project provides an eclectic collection ranging from straight-ahead jazz and latin music to a reinterpretation of a Beatles classic. Every song in between developed its own sense of style and uniqueness that was conceived through the humble and honest nature of the contributing musicians. VERITIES will leave an everlasting impression on all hearts filled with a passion for good music! The Musicians: Kelly Jocoy-Drums Peter Sprague-Guitar Mike Wofford-Piano Darek "Oles" Olesziewicz-Bass Tripp Sprague- Tenor,Soprano Sax & Flute Leonard Patton-Vocals Tommy Aros-Percussion Gary Meek- Alto SaxA different take on local jazz sceneVeritiesBy Kelly JocoySBE Records: 2007by Jim TrageserThis review first appeared in the November 22, 2007 issue of the North County Times.Drummer Kelly Jocoy, who played in Peter Sprague's The Dance of the Universe Orchestra back in 1978 before giving up music for some years, has now issued a CD as leader. Local music fans, though, are likely to recognize most of the cast surrounding the now LA-based Jocoy. In addition to Sprague (guitar), the band here includes Tripp Sprague on reeds, Mike Wofford on piano, Tommy Aros on percussion and Darek Oles on bass, with Leonard Patton lending his velvety pipes to vocals on several songs.While the lineup has very much the feel of a Peter Sprague outing, this is much harder bop than Sprague tends toward, with few of the Latin or Brazilian influences that flavor Sprague's music.And so with Jocoy ...
