creature or musical concepts being presented. Guitar, trombone, and drums swirl into an avant-garde stream of musical consciousness. Moments of what you may expect to hear will break through, but they’re only brief stopping points on a musical narrative that M. Night Shyamalan could have penned. To some NeWt may be an acquired taste, but here’s to trying something a little out of the norm. (WC) newtnet.co.uk Tommy Smith & KARMA [ Fusion ] Perhaps Scottish Saxophonist Tommy Smith did something really right in a past life. He was only 14 when he won both the best solo and group titles at the Edinburgh Jazz Festival, and then his first album followed a year later at the ripe old age of 15. Now with his super-group, KARMA, Smith is joined by Steve Hamilton on piano and keys, Kevin Glasgow on bass, and Alyn Cosker on drums. The group blends myriad styles on what the group calls an “acid jazz adventure.” Now how’s that for some good karma? (WC) tommy-smith.co.uk Tussey Mountain Moonshiners [ BLUEGRASS ] This spirited Central Pennsylvania band has been playing bluegrass and “dodging revenuers” since 2007. It has recently gone from quartet to quintet with the addition of another guitar to the fiddle-mandolin-banjo-bull-fiddle arsenal. This is just good ol’ red-blooded mountain music played by folks who actually reside on the mountain. (FD) tusseymountainmoonshiners.com
