CD review. SHEEP GOT WAXED. Jazz from sheephell

CD Sheep Got Waxed ‎– Sheep Got Waxed was released back in 2014, but i still didn't listen to it. Strange. And today i found this CD. Total genius. 

Lithuanian jazzmen take lots of things from jazz heroes of avant-garde, and also from rock. Check the tracklist: 

1    Choose Shoes    5:56
2    Sheep Exam    5:54
3    Skip It    4:43
4    Chill On The Hill    5:36
5    Jou    3:09
6    Fingerbang    3:12
7    Daft Flea    6:43
8    Temute    2:25
9    And End    4:32

The first one kills, others capture and don't let you go until the end. Never listened to such a Lithuanian record. And now i again love jazz.

The trio plays since the autumn of 2010, they spent a lot of time in the studio looking for common language, trying to reach the limit of imagination.

In 2011 Sheep Got Waxed performed at various local festivals and clubs, participated in the youth bands competition "Garažas 2011" and won the Audience Award. In the the summer travelled around Europe, played in different cities, appeared as a street musicians. The top of the journey - Cosmo Jazz Festival in France. In the autumn they returned to Lithuania, won GRAND PRIX at the "Vilnius Jazz Young Power" competition.

Also, i must mention another CD of this band. It's a soundtrack to FIGHT CLUB by NO THEATRE. It's also very good. And the new track is great: https://sheepgotwaxed.bandcamp.com. 

But now, mi scusi, ragazzi, i must return to this CD. 

JOU!
