Appalucia, Those Lavender Whales, The Fat Face Band, Cue Telectro
The Fat Facers feature three of the city’s better musical minds in a super-group of sorts. Trumpeter Matt Postle, tuba sensation Molly Jay and axe-slinger Troy Conn all exhibit the requisite chops on their respective instruments, and the unlikely instrumentation typically draws an initial “Hey, look at that crazy combo” reaction. But without the ability to mesh all that together into a cogent and compelling whole, none of that would matter a whit. Thankfully, the trio is fluent in the language of improv, turning simple onion skins into coherent musical conversations with each other. Unlike many current free-formers, though, the trio tethers their improv flights to melody and rhythm, relying on the contrast to provide the goods — which it does.
