Johnny E Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE End date 3/10/11 Press Contact: Beth Fleenor* The Frank Agency 206.491.0516 beth@thefrankagency.org *CDs, photos, and more information available upon request Reptet announce CD Release Party for latest release AT THE CABIN Thursday, March 10th 2011 / 9:00PM The Tractor Tavern 5213 Ballard Ave NW Seattle, WA 98107 “Reptet make new music by merrily hopping around the history of jazz. A stereotypical, finger-snapping walking bass lick can smartly mingle with a dissonant free-jazz freak-out, a moody, minor-key TV-cop- show melody, or an Anthony Braxton–inspired lamination of simultaneous layers. Best of all, Reptet make jazz fun.” (The Stranger, Seattle) “We still listen to their Do This! and Chicken or Beef?, and when At the Cabin showed up not long ago, we were delighted. It's nothing like the other two, which were unlike each other (and unlike their 7-inch single, either) — it's maybe even a tad crazier. Live, the Sun Ra pokes through in crazy ensemble passages and exciting solos and wild antics; they're jazz musicians to the core, and the playing quality (on all kinds of brass and reeds and rhythm and-percussion) is always high." (LA Weekly) Fresh off the heels of a West Coast tour, Reptet, the original ambassadors of the much-heralded new Seattle jazz scene, serve up some home-style cookin’ with a party to celebrate the release of their fourth full-length CD entitled, At The Cabin (Artists Recording Collective). The band will be performing original music from the CD as well as other new compositions on Thursday, March 10th at the Tractor Tavern. Kicking off the festivities will be Eyvind Kang's new trio featuring Jessika Kenney & Geoff Harper. The show starts at 9:00PM Information: www.reptet.com / www.sonicbids.com/reptet more about REPTET Reptet is a Seattle-based group consisting of six multi-instrumentalists: Samantha Boshnack (trumpets, vocals), Nelson Bell (trombone, tuba), Izaak Mills (tenor sax, bass clarinet, flute, vocals), Chris Credit (baritone/tenor sax/alto sax, clarinet), Tim Carey (double bass, bass guitar, banjo) and John Ewing (drums, percussion, vocals). One of the early exponents of the now booming Seattle jazz scene, Rep-tet’s previous CD releases, Do This! (Monktail 2006) and Chicken or Beef? (Monktail 2008), gained world-wide recognition and led to the group's subsequent national and international tours. Many other Seattle bands followed suit and the world is just now waking up to the intensity, dynamism and esthetic of the new Seattle jazz scene. more about AT THE CABIN At the Cabin is Reptet’s premier release on Kansas City-based Artists Recording Collective (ARC). This is Reptet’s fourth full length CD, and fifth release overall. It was recorded in June 2010 at a cabin in In-dex, Washington and produced by Reptet. Engineering, mixing and mastering was done by renowned Seattle music engineer Mell Dettmer (Mr. Bungle, Skerik’s Syncopated Taint) at Aleph Studios, Seattle. Artists Recording Collective provides a viable 21st Century Music Industry Platform for world-class talent. This internationally recognized professional recording label collectively promotes and facilitates the dis-tribution and utilization of works created by its members (www.artistsrecordingcollective.info). The re-cording was made possible, in part, by a grant from Washington state’s King County cultural services agency, 4Culture. INTERSECT. INTERACT.

Johnny E Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Posted March 8, 2011 OK, who's flying into Seattle for the show? I have limited car space, but I can fit about 12 of you in the Reptet tour van (as long as I put the two rear bucket seats back in). I'll pick you up at SeaTac at...let's say 3:30 on Wednesday??? Right, see you then. Quote
