REDWINGS NEST

I learned about the Redwings Nest through a PA discussion about Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra, who are, ironically, not even listed on PA. Luckily, SOT and the Redwings Nest happen to be listed, under the RIO/Avant-Prog subcategory. The band position themselves somewhere inside the "prog-metal-jazz" triangle, but I would describe the Redwings Nest as an "enhanced contemporary fusion" album, at least after the first two listens. Remember: it's not what- or how they played; it's how they made you feel. The Redwings made me feel both stimulated and content.

If you are into non-weird, musically eloquent and expertly played avant jazzy music, The Redwings would be a valuable addition to your collection. You can test-drive the Redwings on Bandcamp, which makes it unnecessary for me to attempt describing it any further.

Four stars as of now ...
