DROMEDARY QUARTET releases “STICKS AND STONES” in 2008
Overview of the CD
Co-founders Rob McMaken and Andrew Reissiger continue to play their mixture of stringed instruments from all corners of the globe, but now with the deep acoustic rhythm section of jazz bassist Chris Enghauser and New Orleans drummer Louis Romanos. Entitled "Sticks and Stones,” this album was recorded live in the front room of an old house in Athens, GA.
The sound of this recording is energized and intimate, and the collection of new compositions is ambitious -- floating between lands as far apart as West Africa, the Andes, Eastern Europe, New York City, and the American South. Fans of Dromedary's catalogue will note that "Sticks and Stones" has a more aggressive edge, though the performances maintain the balanced and organic sound that they have become known for over the years.
