On the radio last night, I caught the tail end of a live set by Ted Nash's band, Odeon. A very interestingly eclectic jazz combo, including Bill Schimmel working subtle magic on his accordion. Their music includes tasty dollops of New Orleans roots, European cafe and Argentine tango. Among other things. Even a Debussy adaptation. And tuba instead of bass. Tasty, yeah. Here is a Village Voice review of their CD, Sidewalk Meeting.
Ted Nash is an awesome player!!!
