Larry Ochs - Kihnoua

KIHNOUA is a term borrowed from ancient Greek that might have meant “the difference.” Or perhaps: “the unity of opposites” ...on the one hand oral traditions; on the other hand new-jazz spontaneity. A long-time fan of traditional Korean p’ansori folk-singing and of Korean sinawi improvisation, it is with great pleasure that Larry Ochs presents music that intermingles the thoughts, sounds and structures of “improvised music” (including jazz) with influences from the older sound-world of Korea and from other folk-music/blues influences worldwide. The core trio of Amendola, Lee and Ochs have played together since 2007. Trevor Dunn joins the band for the first time on this spring 2012 six-city tour.
