IT'S A JUNGLE IN HERE is an urban safari that tracks into heady harmonic territory yet never fails to swing. Compositions by Thelonious Monk, Bob Marley, John Coltrane, and Nigerian juju master King Sunny Ade are post-modernized and reshaped into compelling urban sound portraits. Ubiquitous New York downtown guitarist Marc Ribot and a posse of A-list horn players mold "Where's Sly?" into sonic layers before settling back into the song's strutting, "Blue Trane"- era theme, while other originals like "Beeah" and "Shuck it Up" pack the funk into places most bands can't reach.
