    March, Strathspey & Surreal - Simon Thoumire Three

    by Simon Thoumire

    From a review in Dirty Linen  US  Folk Music Magazine....a beautiful set of music with the exploratory freedoms of jazz wedded to Celtic music's irrepressible lift and energy. At times, this can sound like Astor Piazzola meets Phil Cunningham, but mostly it sounds unusual enough to remind me of nothing else I've heard. Gloomy moods put in an appearance on such tunes as "Eddie Kelly's," which features eerie vocal and concertina drones under beautiful slow guitar work by MacKenzie. (Think of unusually high-pitched Tuvan throat singing backing a guitar and you'll have the idea.) Hardcore jazz gets its say on "Spare Parts," a tune with small melodic pieces that are repeated and varied like bebop, and, in MacKenzie's words, a "hard chord sequence that would confound Mr. Spock." But the predominant mood is fiery and fun; the spirited jigs and reels really cook on this disc, and I think Thoumire's concertina style, which is quick and a little wild, has a better opportunity to shine than it did on Exhibit A. In all, this is an album of great breadth and style, played by three terrifically talented musicians. - Dirty Linen.. Steve Winick (Philadelphia, PA)
