Album Notes

Mingo Fishtrap's long-awaited fourth release is finally here! Their third full-length album, Yesterday, is fourteen tracks of new material that overflows with groove and feeling. These are finely crafted pop songs that draw on traditions spanning the range of American music, yet the result is not random ecclecticism. Mingo has focused their many musical influences into a unique, exciting and timeless sound.

New Orleans funk and fun is at the heart of this music, from the latin-tinged "On Our Way" to the Afro-swamp instrumental "Fred's Slacks" to the second-line intro of "Catch The Bus". Mingo's East Bay grease comes through on the horn-driven tunes like "Let The Games Begin". Hints of old school R&B in the style of Otis Redding are everywhere, but these are children of the 1980's and can't resist some house music. The vibe is irresistible: a blend of rhythm, surprise, charm and plain old-fashioned great sounds!

Mingo hails from Austin, Texas and has performed with the Neville Brothers, Sting,Marcia Ball, Tommy Castro, Lenny Williams, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Delbert McClinton, Maktub and Ozomotli.

Check out also the cd "From the Private Bag" which has half a live show on it.

They're coming to a town near you Soon !!!!!

REVIEWS

This is out of Denton, Texas?

I just wrote a review on their album Private Bag - be sure to check it out if you are interested in these guys. Something that I find interesting is that these guys are out of what was called North Texas State University when I went there. My experience was that it was a fairly stuck-up place for jazz that would definately have turned its nose up at a band like this. Maybe things have changed. Anyway, the musicianship of these guys is excellent. Hey - give the keyboard player a little more solo time - I want to see what he is made of!

THEY HAVE THE FUNK, GOT TO HAVE THE FUNK. First heard the band at Jazz Bones in Tacoma while waiting to see Cold Blood. I thought it was Tower of Power. WONDERFUL band. I loved the music. When I returned home to San Diego, I bought the CD.
