Bonington Theatre in Nottingham, UK on May 18, 2006
Local heroes Pinski Zoo have been around since the early '80s and have steadfastly pursued their path since then. The music is a heady brew of Ornette, Coltrane, Ayler and industrial strength funk. Jan Kopinski's sax is often heavily modified by effects pedals, Steve Iliffe's keyboards provide swirling soundscapes and the two basses never get in each others' way, with Stefan Kopinski tending to provide the foundation and Karl Bingham having more of a melodic role. Steve Harris' powerful drumming propels the whole thing along.
