HARD RUBBER ORCHESTRA - RUB HARDER

• hard rubber orchestra: rub harder
      (2001, cd, canada, les disques victo cd080)

The Hard Rubber Orchestra, directed by John Korsrud, released a first album in 1997. Three years later, the band released a salsa album as the Orquestra Goma Dura.
This was followed by "Rub Harder", the Hard Rubber Orchestra's second album in 2001.

For "Rub Harder", John Korsrud asked some of his colleagues to write something for the Hard Rubber Orchestra. "To create a snapshot anthology of maverick Canadian composition", as Bill Shoemaker explains in the liner notes.
I might not understand what he means by this, but the result does sound amazing.

Recommended listening !!
