Descripstion
This is a 2009 studio recording from the French/American Hadouk Trio who play jazz on unusual folk instruments. The album is conceived of as a set of 13 flights of fancy on a metaphorical airline "Air Hadouk" or "AH" with each tune listed on the back cover as a flight number on an electronic departures board. Your pilots, Loy Ehrlich, Didier Malherbe, and Steve Shehan, deliver charming and inventive music in 12 originals and one Thelonious Monk tune ("Friday the 13th"). This album sounds a bit funkier to my ears than the other Hadouk Trio albums I have, Shamanimal and Baldamore. I also think that Loy Ehrlich might be using some electronic keyboards on some tunes, although this is not indicated in the CD booklet.
Fans of Herman Melville might be interested in knowing that 3 tunes are named after characters ("Babbalanja", "Yillah", and "Dididi") from his first novel "Mardi".
