Endangered Blood (US)

Endangered Blood is a dynamic NYC ensemble featuring Chris Speed (Human Feel, Claudia Quintet, Bloodcount, Pachora, yeah NO), Jim Black (Laurie Anderson, Dave Liebman, AlasNoAxis), Trevor Dunn (Fantamos, Mr. Bungle, John Zorn) as well as Brooklyn legend, alto saxophonist Oscar Noriega (Tim Berne's Los Totopos, Lee Konitz, Banda Sinaloense De Los Muertos). Performing a mix of original compositions and jazz classics, they create a new sound that integrates swing, free jazz, and rock, while maintaining the experimental energy that all these musicians are known for.

"High-energy, melody-driven themes exploded into all-out jams, hammered home by Jim Blacks aggressive drumming."
Time Out NY - June, 2010

"Endangered Blood. This was some of the tightest, most sophisticated chordless quartet playing I've heard in this festival or otherwise. The writing was hip but not overly complex and emphasized melody in conjunction with harmony instead of vice versa. There were elements of bebop, Mariachi, free jazz and post-bop all seamlessly strung together. Noriega is an alto player I NEED to hear more of, plain and simple."
