Description:

Best known as the guitar player for "Space Guerilla" and "Jazzkantine", Tom Bennecke has started a new project that combines his musical passions - reggae and jazz - to form a fresh, new unit: Dub Guerilla. In the center of the music are three trombone players - Nils Wogram, Uwe Granitza and Dr Ring Ding - who act as a horn section as well as individual soloists. The three of them form a melodic counterpart versus the music's dub elements ("drum+bass+space"), then unite with these for extraterrestrian-like sound happenings. Nils Wogram, the leading jazz trombonist of his generation, and Uwe Granitza, an ex-sideman for Fury in the Slaughterhouse, Tom Jones, Phil Collins and others, are household names in the European jazz scene while Dr. Ring Ding has been an active part of the reggae world, mainly as a vocalist. Bennecke clearly shows a deep affinity for old dub records from the likes of Lee Scratch Perry and King Tubby. He keeps deconstructing the instrumental tunes over and over again, thus building up a unique tension in his music. "Dub is the perfect form of expression for me," he says. "It offers everything I like: pushing riddims, simple melodies and also room for spacey and jazzy trips." Beside tracks that are produced with modern studio facilities and based on drum loops this album also includes pieces played by the band and radiating the magic of a great, cooperating rhythm group. A welcome presentation of Jazzkantine's Tom Bennecke as a leader, this music addresses the fans of dub/reggae as well as the jazz audience.
