Arthur Vint & Associates’ debut album “Through The Badlands” evokes visions of the western American landscape, with its vast open expanses and rocky terrain. Rooted in the great American traditions of jazz and rock ‘n’ roll, the album weaves contemporary influences with vintage country as well as traditional Native American spiritual music, drawing on the images and sounds of Vint’s childhood growing up in Tucson, Arizona. Vint’s diverse influences on this album range from Neil Young to Thelonious Monk, Marty Robbins to John Coltrane and beyond.
Vint leads his ensemble from behind the drum set with authority, yet the music he writes is not drum-centric. The album demonstrates Vint’s mastery of and passion for different musical styles and showcases his supportive drumming. His compositions and arrangements are crafted to feature each instrument in his unique eight-piece ensemble that includes chromatic harmonica, violin and bass clarinet, as well as the more traditional jazz instruments tenor sax, guitar, piano, bass and drums.
