It means something when a band can elicit a variety of responses. The John Thomas Trio (listen here on MySpace) does that. There's a toe-tapping, head-bobbing thing going on, and there's a "how'd they do that?" thing going on too. It's provocative modern jazz pushed to the hilt; think Medeski, Martin and Wood simmering in the theatric fingerings of Trey Anastasio and the drama of Ennio Morricone. You are urged to respond.
The JTT will settle in tomorrow for a set in the HoDo Lounge at 8:30 p.m., 21+, no cover.
