Thursday, May 31: Agachiko
Gabrielle Agachiko and her wonderful six-piece band have been working on our debut recording, but we're airing it out at Sally O'Brien's in Union, Square, Somerville. No cover!
Gabrielle Agachiko, voice; Ken Field, flute; Scott Getchell, trumpet;Russ Gershon, tenor sax; Sam Davis, guitar; Blake Newman, bass;
Phil Neighbors, drums
"When the band is cooking — when, say, Getchell and Gershon take turns letting loose Coltrane-like cries on one of Agachiko's most soul-baring tunes, "Unlovable" — the effect might remind you a bit of Nina Simone, but also of Abbey Lincoln's work with her then-husband, Max Roach."
–Jon Garelick, Boston Phoenix
