Monika Roscher Bigband - Failure in Wonderland (2012)
This is a great record from the start to the end. Big band jazz meets experimental rock. I am a sucker for this type of music.
Reminds me of British and German big band jazz rock experiments of the 70's. Think flavors of Mike Westbrook, Bob Downes, Karl Berger maybe even Julie Driscoll and Nucleus, but Monika's singing, guitar playing and use electronics give this album a very distinct character. Explosive moments on some songs strongly recall Willem Breuker Kollektief as well.
