   About Das Vibenbass

From Seattle to New York to Berlin, audiences have been fascinated by the musical sound of Das Vibenbass. The group has independently released three full-length records, all of which have garnered tremendous support from the indie jazz community. They have sustained numerous spots atop Seattle’s critically acclaimed KEXP 90.3 jazz chart, as well a prestigious nomination, alongside Wayne Horvitz, for Best Jazz/Experimental act in the Seattle Weekly’s Best of 2006. Constant tours of the United States, Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic have spawned a devoted fan base whose discriminating tastes welcome only the best into clubs. Venues include Seattle’s Triple Door, Hamburg’s Birdland and Pianos in New York.

DVB has a knack of stunning its audiences with their precise, uncompromising timbre. Geoff Larson and JC Bockman structure the groups’ prime sensibility with flooding bass and raucous drums. Josh Clifford lends his versatile tenor saxophone to passages that require both ferocity and elegance, while Justin Sorensen assertively haunts the sound with his contemporary approach on the vibraphone.

Over the past year Das has shifted its musical ideals and finds their focus on compositionally based instrumental songwriting. It has seen them become much more lyrically grounded with the ability to paint giant canvases of sound. Imagine a movie score being created on stage with the ability to aurally induce strong emotions in its audiences. You can expect to see DVB progress from beautiful passages to dissonant and harsh periods all within a single piece.

DVB's official blog, "memoirs of elliot prototype" can be found here

Selected Quotes from the Press

"Das Vibenbass know jazz history well and they tweak it with enough modern rhythmic dexterity and dynamic surprises to avoid the stodgy whiff of museum curatorship." Dave Segal - The Stranger

"Economical yet decadent, it's a mysterious, elegant brand of experimental jazz that would serve as the ultimate soundtrack for the harsh bar at the end of the world. " -SC Metro

"These guys have taken the principles of classic jazz and blended them into a unique twist of crashing drums, pounding double bass, bell-like vibes and screaming sax." - Seattle Weekly

"a sprawling rhythm section coupled with a spry and devious tenor sax that is film noiry in its devilish intrigue. But the added element of surreality goes to the vibraphone, sometimes creepy, sometimes sublime." -GT Weekly

"original, decidedly fresh and innovative, ranging from atmospheric and moody to downright funky and strange-it's sonically satisfying" -Chico News and Review

"loose-limbed, liquid, and sparkling." -Seattle Weekly

"diverse mood-setting capabilities, melodic grace, and galvanizing rhythmic verve." -The Stranger

"a marvel of modernistic jazz" - All About Jazz

"DJ Monkey …soul-stirring, excitingly edgy music…just disturbing (read ‘mind-f**king’) enough to demand attention. There is a whole spice rack of auditory flavors here, served up like fractured poetry on a collection of intensely listenable Hallmark cards from Hell."  Bill Margold, Cinema Seen, L.A. X..Press
