Even now, no one else in jazz compares to Moppa Elliot’s returning Mostly Other People Do the Killing. Audacity with the chops to make it work remains the basic recipe.

Nick Millevoi and Rob Stabinsky are plenty capable of making serious music but Grassy Sound is about them having fun.

Desertion Trio’s fun and unpredictable all-covers ‘Twilight Time’ is a vehicle for mining a wide range of non-jazz influences for Nick Millevoi.

After the septet outing ‘Loafer’s Hollow’, Moppa Elliot makes “less is more” the mantra for the trio feature ‘Paint’. Which only goes to show that size really doesn’t matter with Mostly Other People Do The Killing; only gumption does.

Blurring the lines between art and wit for fourteen years running, Mostly Other People Do The Killing are still making absurdity in jazz fun.

When I got finished listening to Mostly Other People Do The Killing’s new album Red Hot, I thought, “man, this is the best album they’ve ever made.” You May Also Like: Mostly Other People Do The Killing – Loafer’s Hollow (2017) Mostly Other People Do The Killing – Paint (2017)
