With Hal Crook, John Medeski, Rick Peckham, Dave Zinno, & Bob Gullotti; Um's "Stray Dog" is uncompromising, aggressive jazz that accepts no limits & takes no prisoners. This album is a must for jazzheads tired of the same old thing, MMW fans who love it when Medeski gets freaky, & downtowners who like their weirdness fortified by serious jazz credentials. Recorded live over two wild evenings in providence, Rhode Island, um is a super group of accomplished masters, featuring Hal Crook (trombone), John Medeski (organ), Rick Peckham (guitar), Dave Zinno (bass), & Bob Gullotti (drums). Having performed collectively with Phil Woods, Paul Motion, Trey Anastasios surrender to the air, the fringe, Medeski, Martin & Wood, & John Zorn, these players are as wide-ranging in their experience as they are adventurous.
