The Thing w/ The Naked Future
The Thing was established in 2000 by Swedish saxophonist Mats Gustafsson and Norways heaviest rhythmsection: Paal Nilssen-Love on drums and Ingebrigt Hker Flaten on bass. The Thing brings together music from multiple genres including free jazz, punk and indie rock.
When the trio started out, the book contained mainly of tunes by legendary trumpet player, Don Cherry. Since then the group's repertoire has included other free jazz standards by David Murray, Frank Lowe and Norman Howard. Also, the groups enthusiasm for rock music, is heard when they play "To Bring You My Love" by PJ Harvey on the second CD as well as Ride the Sky by Lightning Bolt on Garage. Today the book has expanded to include tunes by The White Stripes, The Sonics and Yeah Yeah Yeahs among others.
The Naked Future is Arrington de Dionyso (Ol Time Relijun) on bass clarinet, John Niekrasz (Why I Must Be Careful, Thicket) on drums, Gregg Skloff (Captains Daughter, Cloaca Clock) & Ben Kates (Thicket) on alto and soprano sax. They play extremely high-energy improvisation. This show will mark their first release: Gigantomachia on ESP Disk (with Thollem McDonas on piano).
