ABOUT THE ALBUM
www.jaro.de
Rattling with the sounds of migration from the caldron of New York City, Hazmat Modine returns to Europe rejuvenated. They’ll be serving up the bones of American music on a platter of silver, brass, reeds, electric guitars, violin, and vocal harmonies, and as always, presided over by the dashing harmonica wizard Wade Schuman.
Hazmat will be presenting music from their much anticipated magnum opus, ostensibly entitled Extra-Deluxe-Supreme. The songs present allegories of triumph and tragedy. Musically, the inspiration is drawn from Memphis and Rock Steady- garnished with the sounds of Egyptian Afro-Pop, American roots and Tuvan Soul. Set to simmer, it’s blended and distilled into a distinctive Hazmatian stew.
The new recording Extra-Deluxe-Supreme puts an emphasis on tight vocal harmonies that ring with Gospel overtones. The arrangements are crisp and elaborate in a style that can only be referred to as Baroque Blues.
Recording for this CD Extra-Deluxe-Supreme began in an old converted farm house outside Osnabrück and was finished in New York City. Two of the compositions will include a guest appearance by the Tuvan throat singing group Alash Ensemble, as well as some other surprises.
Hazmat Modine will feature generous portions of their latest concoction, but you can also expect to hear ferocious favorites from the Deep Hazmat catalog as well.
Joining the troop this time around, will be the world traveled drummer/percussionist Tim Keiper (Vieux Farka Toure, Cyro Baptista, John Zorn, etc.).
Hazmat Modine is in full bloom and ready to rumble. Up and rise!

New York-based folk group/ethnomusicology experiment Hazmat Modine draw from a wide array of influences and time periods. Performing music from the '20s through the early '60s, including genres such as swing, klezmer, hokum jug band, blues, rocksteady, and more, the dual harmonica-fronted band has earned a reputation as fearless world music alchemists. Founder Wade Schuman was brought up in Ann Arbor, MI, a city known for its music scene, before relocating to New York. His mastery of early blues styles earned him opportunities to record with some of New York's greatest, including an appearance on Joan Osborne's Grammy-nominated Relish. Schuman also performed opposite Chicago native Randy Weinstein, a fellow harmonica great with a stellar performance record. Schuman's bandmates include Joe Daley (tuba), Michael Gomez and Pete Smith (guitars), Pamela Fleming (trumpet), and Rich Huntley (drums). Other instrumental rarities like the sheng (a Chinese mouth organ) and the cimbalom (a Romanian hammer dulcimer) combined with unique repertoire drawn from artists including Slim Gaillard, Jimmy Rogers, Jaybird Coleman, and Irving Berlin opened doors for Hazmat Modine to perform in some of New York's most exclusive venues. With growing public esteem and a fan base to match, the time came for Hazmat Modine's debut release. Bahamut came out in 2006, landing a spot in Billboard's Top Blues Albums category and numerous international charts. The band appeared on stages throughout North America and Europe, including performances at some of the world's most renowned jazz festivals.
