Frogg
Cafe |
Frogg Café is a 6
piece band from the New York metropolitan area making
music that incorporates elements of progressive rock,
pop melodicism and fusion jazz. Peppered with an
appealing variety of other flavors including latin
music, bluegrass, modern chamber music and
avant-garde/experimental, their energetic live shows
feature extended flights of group improvisation that
would draw grins from any hardcore jam-band fan.
The members of Frogg Café are university trained in
music composition and performance and this education and
experience is quite evident. Frogg Café tours
extensively throughout the Northeast year-round, and
have shared the stage with noteworthy rock artists Page
McConnell of Phish,
Proto-Kaw featuring
Kerry Livgren of
Kansas,
Dave
Mason, the Dude of Life,
The Flower Kings and
many other current leading artists.
Their third studio release, "Fortunate Observer of
Time," is a classic progressive rock album infused with
jazz and jamband improvisation, driving melody lines,
angular harmonies, and a motivic classical counterpoint
that creates a cohesive listening experience. It
includes a guest appearance by
Frank Zappa's
percussionist Ed Mann on the 15 minute Abyss of
Dissension and mastered by the Grammy award winning
engineer Andreas Meyer.
Creatures is a complex
and symphonic affair, filled with tons of offbeat
melodies and instrumental brilliance. “All This Time”
incorporates waves of Mellotron and heavy guitar riffs
to support the melodic vocals. The title track
combines the deft beauty of vintage Kansas with the
wacky complex time signatures of
Frank Zappa. The
21-minute “Waterfall Carnival” finishes of the disc
throwing many styles at the listener. Starting off with
lush acoustic guitar and Mellotron that recalls vintage
Genesis,
the band then mixes symphonic rock and jazz-fusion for a
huge wall of sound. Fans of
Kansas or the
Dixie
Dregs may enjoy the shifts into symphonic fusion.
Sounding like a hybrid of
Gentle Giant,
Dixie Dregs,
Frank
Zappa, Hands, and the
Mahavishnu
Orchestra, Frogg Café’s self-titled debut is filled
with complex instrumental arrangements, intelligent
melodies, and a firm foot in progressive rock and jazz
tradition.
