Mauch Chunk Is Jim Thorpe - Mostly Other People Do the Killing

"Mauch Chunk Is Jim Thorpe" is the first track off of Bassist-bandleader Moppa Elliiot’s Mostly Other People Do the Killing's new CD, "Mauch Chunk".

"Mauch Chunk" is the eighth studio album and first release by the new quartet lineup, including pianist Ron Stabinsky in addition to saxophonist Jon Irabagon and drummer Kevin Shea. Mauch Chunk contains seven new compositions by bassist/bandleader Moppa Elliott and returns to the hard-bop roots of the ensemble. Deeply rooted in the tradition of the post-bop small ensembles of the 1950s and 60s, "Mauch Chunk" presents a unique approach to jazz in the 21st century.

Chopin Etude Op. 10, No. 4

Sometime back in the early 2Ks, I was listening to a jazz program on Detroit's WDET hosted by W. Kim Heron. This was on the way home from a particularly fertile band practice one Sunday afternoon, so I was feeling pretty electric as it was. I was introduced via this program to an experimental jazz trio that went by the name Birth. They blew my mind and opened the doors for my foray into jazz that bent the bounds of the genre as well as music itself. Birth eventually faded away, but not after I had the chance to see them perform live at the Detroit Institute of Arts on a Friday night. What an incredible performance it was, staggering in how it challenged every sense of musical convention.

Now, I don't love every band that pushes the envelope, frankly because most bands that claim to do so suck. It's been a while since I've stumbled on something that really took my mind away. Mostly Other People Do The Killing (MOPDtK) has succeeded in doing this.

This video is a track titled "Baden" from MOPDtK's release Shamokin!!! from indie jazz label, Hot Cup Records.
