Review

Sex Mob has delighted in tweaking and twisting the jazz idiom for the better part of a decade, with blatant disregard for all that is pure. It's not surprising, then, that Steven Bernstein and company would dive into the tropical waters of exotica, a lounge sound relentlessly mocked by "serious" jazz connoisseurs; in fact, it's a perfect fit. Billed as an "electro-acoustic fantasy inspired by Martin Denny," Sexotica is playful, mysterious, and seductive, yet it's anything but easy listening. After the band--Bernstein (slide trumpet), Briggan Krauss (sax), Tony Scherr (acoustic bass and guitar), and Kenny Wollesen (percussion), with guest Mike Dillon on tablas--laid the initial tracks, producers Danny Blume and Chris Castagno, who do business as GoodandEvil, were given the opportunity to slice and dice. The duo's electronic tomfoolery takes an already adventurous ensemble and pushes them out even further, to a place where the primal and the postmodern intermingle. Bernstein and Krauss offer some appealingly snaky horn lines throughout, and the mood often calls to mind the "jungle sound" of early Ellington--modernized for the 21st century. Oddly enough, in exotica Sex Mob has found a style that's stout enough to accommodate their most exploratory tendencies. --Marc GreilsamerNever a band to conform, Sex Mob has consistently made music that is innovative and fresh. Their latest album, Sexotica, features the players performing in the spirit of Martin Denny and the Exotica genre. Sexotica is an entertaining ride, incorporating humor, unique production and an overall feeling of originality. Sex Mob is clearly forwarding their mission of making jazz music engaging and fun.
