The Blues Cranes / Scott Amendola
The Blue Cranes
Hailing from the fertile scene of Portland, Oregon, the Blue Cranes create music that is as invigorating as it is disarming. Working a thin line between improvisation and catchiness, Blue Cranes arrive at a unique place. They have found a way to make exploration seem like the most enjoyable process around. "Consider the band a brainier kinfolk to the indie rock scene, and with influences from rock and other areas, but with a solid foundation in the vocabulary of jazz." - JOSEF WOODARD (Santa Barbara News-Press)
The group, composed of Reed Wallsmith (alto saxophone), Sly Pig (tenor saxophone), Rebecca Sanborn (keyboards), Keith Brush (acoustic bass), and Ji Tanzer (drums), began working together as a quintet in 2007 (originally recording as a quartet in 2006). Since then, the band has begun to reap the rewards of collective articulation: a truly individual sound that depends on the contributions of each member.
Scott Amendola
"If Scott Amendola didn't exist, the San Francisco music scene would have to invent him." - Derk Richardson, San Francisco Bay Guardian
"...drummer/signal-treater Scott Amendola is both a tyrant of heavy rhythm and an electric-haired antenna for outworldly messages (not a standard combination)." - Greg Burk, LA Weekly
"Scott Amendola is quickly becoming my favorite drummer in all of drummerdom...Always innovative and inventive, he doesn't beat around the bush (no pun intended), he doesn't seem to beat a single square inch of drum that doesn't deserve to get beaten, but he's always fooling around, always in your face, going crazy with that irresistible smile on his face." - Steve Palopoli, Good Times, November 20, 1997
"Scott Amendola be trippin'. His sound is like being slapped in the face with a rare steak doused in a great wine sauce. Get messy..." - Greg Burk, LA Weekly
"Scott Amendola has become a truly versatile workhorse...leading his own innovative bands..." Ron Nachmann, San Francisco Gate
