Both bands are already moving on from their latest recorded work and are well worth keeping an eye on the local listings for. £7 for two crack combos - bargain!<br /><br />C. More intriguing than the traditional Jazz moniker eg. Fred Bloggs Trio or Bert Smith Quartet, the names alone make you want to check the bands out. I'd certainly check out that book too.

Still, I must admit my first thought on seeing your post title was that I really should develop some picture book characters with those names! 'Gogo Penguin and Mammal Hands' is absolutely crying out to be a children's story book, surely?!Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522017207239490912.post-39482071312058815242014-09-14T19:03:24.835+01:002014-09-14T19:03:24.835+01:00Fabulous on both counts.

I've heard about Gogo Penguin but Mammal Hands are entirely new to me. This is real, grown up music, played with intelligence and sensitivity. Mammal Hands' sound seems a little more ascetic due to the lack of bass. I prefer my jazz to swing so Gogo Penguin win on that score but I'd imagine Mammal Hands are aiming at something closer to a modern classical/jazz crossover which may account for their bass-less approach. Then again, I'm only guessing and what the heck to I know? Whatever - both are excellent outfits. Must follow them up. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
