Montana Fix by Gunnelpumpers
“Montana Fix” is the fourth release by the Chicago-based group Gunnelpumpers. All 19 instrumental tracks were created “on the scene” in two days by seven highly accomplished musicians. The musicians themselves are an amalgam of an incredibly diverse set of musical styles: traditional, progressive and kraut rock, “world” music, nu jazz, experimental music, and traditional and contemporary classical, to name a few. The musicians on Montana Fix integrate these influences into something uniquely new, if not extraordinary. Most of the tracks on Montana Fix are live studio recordings with only a small handful using overdubs of any kind.
Montana Fix was officially released Wednesday, July 24, 2013.
Gunnelpumpers is a group of inspired musicians dedicated to the art of progressive, free improvisation.
