Artist:Gutbucket
Song:Born Again Athiest Suite Part 2: Sacrificial Vegan
Album:Flock
Gutbucket is frequently described as jazz rock fusion. I think their music is more jazz than rock, especially the avant garde sounds of Ornette Coleman. The rock elements are minimal. The members of Gutbucket were students at Columbia University in New York. Sax player Ken Thomson, guitarist Ty Citerman and drummer Paul Chuffo were in the soul jazz band Ex Caminos. After they were introduced to bassist and NYU grad Eric Rockwin, they decided to form Gutbucket in 1999. After releasing the 2001 CD Insomniacs Dream on Knitting Factory and two albums on Cantaloupe, Chuffo was replaced by Adam Gold. Gutbucket signed with Cunieform. Sacrificial Vegan is from the 2011 album Flock. It was their second album on Cunieform. It's part of the three part Born Again Athiest Suite written by Rockwin. I recommend it to avant garde jazz fans. After Rockwin was replaced by Pat Swoboda, Gutbucket released the 2016 album Dance on their own label. Though Thomson has released a couple of solo albums, Gutbucket announced on Facebook they are returning to perform live soon. Here's Gutbucket performing Sacrificial Vegan at Le Poisson Rouge in New York City Feb. 23, 2011.
