20 Bands You Didn't Know You Can't Live Without [Mondo Jazz Ep. 78]

There is a treasure-trove of jazz gems away from the usual labels, venues, websites... one has just to look around and search for it. This week we feature bands whose quality may have not been matched by their international commercial success… but that’s often the curse of excellent music that goes off the beaten path. Since we only care about the beauty of the music, here are twenty bands which you didn't know you cannot live without: Rootless, Slow Poke, Spanish Fly, Trio Grande, Trio Bravo, Aka Moon, Rêve d'éléphant orchestra, Tuatara, The Grassy Knoll, Morphine, Throttle Elevator Music, The Fresh Cut Orchestra, Orchestra del Titanic, Farmers Market, The Volunteered Slaves, Metalwood, Lost Tribe, Octurn, Clusone Trio, and the Dingobats.
