Andrew Oliver Sextet - 82% Chance of Rain [CD]

Andrew Oliver's Portland, Oregon-based band digs deep into a genre-bending bag of original compositions for their first recording on OA2. The group has built a strong following for their diverse instrumentation, an exciting live performance aesthetic, and their carefully crafted originals that are inspired by equally eclectic sets of circumstance - an ode to a gas station; "Inattentive Attendant," musings on Hawaiian wildlife; "800 Turtles," and commentary on the bassist's taste in citrus; "Only a Quality Lime for Eric Gruber." the band let's their creative imaginations run free in developing often complex structures for their freewheeling improvisations.
