Live in Studio 2A – Purple Spectre
from Locals Only Hosted by KXCI
Thanks for visiting KXCI’s Locals Only – Tucson, AZ. We’re coming at you this week with another live, in-studio performance from the band Purple Spectre. They will be joined by Matt Milner live in Studio 2A for an hour of music and conversation. A little bit about purple spectre Take the compositional sophistication of Wayne Shorter, fuse it with the hard grooves of Bitches Brew and Red Clay, sprinkle in some dust from the shoes of Ariel Pink, and you might get something resembling Mike Moynihan’s Purple Spectre. Like a chemist mixing volatile compounds, Purple Spectre blends elements of funk, rock, soul, and hard bop into a potent serum of musical nirvana. The ultimate impact of Purple Spectre is a funky tapestry that is rooted in tradition, yet innovative and fresh. Wry musical wit is integral to Moynihan’s exotic compositions and to the searing improvisations that all the members provide. Purple Spectre is jazz as jazz was meant to be: steeped in awe of past masters, yet peering fearlessly into the future with steely resolve. Purple Spectre personnel include: Kai Felix, drums Max Goldschmid, trumpet Patrick Morris, bass Mike Moynihan, saxophone/ compositions Angelo Versace, keyboard Purple Spectre – Photo by Julius Schlosburg Live Audio & Video Engineering by: Duncan Hudson Ben Holman Wallace Schubach Walter Harrington Bjorgvin Benediktsson Post-production editing and web page by: Dominic Castelli Remember to visit the Locals Only website weekly to catch another great performance by one of our great local musical artists.
