100% organic music created by a trio of keyboards, bass, and drums.
no samples, no songs written in advance, no overdubs - just music captured as it grows naturally in the studio.
This is not free form music in the traditional sense - but the chemistry of three
musicians creating spontaneous form and structure without regard for genres and conventions.
While comparisons with other contemporary jazz influenced trios (or post-rock collectives) might seem obvious, don't be mislead by that either.
All Ones' studio is home to one of the largest working collections of Antique & Vintage keyboards in the country. 100 Year old acoustic instruments sit next to mechanical electro-acoustic pianos, organs, and some of the earliest pre-digital synthesizers.
Individually, the members of All Ones have played with a wide range of musicians.
Percussionist David Brandt has been active in the new music/imrov/post-rock scenes in New York City and the San Francisco Bay Area for many years. Among his most interesting adventures was a European tour with the Kologbo Afrobeat Academy (Oghene Kologbo was the defintive tenor guitarist in Fela Kuti's Africa 70 band), performances with Conduction maestro Butch Morris' New York Skyscraper and with The Transcendentalists at New York's Vision Festival.
Bassist Ned Doherty has served his time in all kinds of San Francisco Bay Area bands - including tours with Avengers front woman Penelope Houston, Carmaig de Forest as well as studio experiences with Gordon Gano of the Violent Femmes, Will Rigby of the DB's and others.
When keyboardist Matt Henry Cunitz isn't repairing and restoring vintage keyboards (his day job) for a client list that runs from Grandmas to Grammy-winners, then he's likely to be found performing in recording studios or on stage with Five Dollar Suit, Brad Brooks, Hiss Golden Messenger, Last of the Blacksmiths, sometimes with Bright Black Morning Light, and on REALLY Lucky FUN days.... with Ralph Carney even! .

Standing on the corner Just me and Yoko Ono We was waiting for Jerry to land Up come a man with a guitar in his hand Singing, "Have a marijuana if you can" His name was David Peel And we found that he was real He sang, "The Pope smokes dope every day" Up come a policeman shoved us up the street Singing, "Power to the people today!"
New York City...New York City...New York City Que pasa, New York? Que pasa, New York?
I was SO surprised about my party. I kept barking at cars that drove up until I realized that the cars were full of people coming to see me! I also won second place in the talent show!! Have to say, I'm pretty impressed with myself.
always down for a burrito! i'd love to check out some live HGM, i love the studio tracks i've heard. nice work! btw, the new whole foods around the corner opened today, got some good local shopping in this morning, stoked! it's pretty darn huge. home for a couple weeks, next week is pretty open, let's hang :)
