THE CELLAR AND POINT - AMBIT

  • the cellar and point: ambit
        (2014, cd, usa, cuneiform)
Wowie Zowie !!
"Ambit" is the debut album of The Cellar And Point, a project led by Joseph Branciforte and Christopher Botta.
This is great !!
Contemporary classical music? Jazz? New music? I wouldn't know how to call this.
New Music From Hell, maybe?

The duo has spent three years of composing and of assembling the ensemble. Just look at the instrumentation:

  • Joe Bergen: vibraphone
  • Christopher Otto: violin
  • Kevin McFarland: cello
  • Terrence McManus: electric guitar
  • Christopher Botta: acoustic guitar and banjo
  • Rufus Philpot: electric bass
  • Joseph Branciforte: drums
