Tied & Tickled Trio is a German electronica/dub/jazz musical collective. It was founded in 1994 by Markus Acher and Christoph Brandner in Weilheim, Bavaria as a polyrythmic duo playing drums only. After the joining of sculptor Andreas Gerth (electronics) and Markus brother Micha (bass), the core of Tied & Tickled Trio was formed and their style turned to jazz. This trend later was fixed with new member coming - Johannes Enders, a studied jazz sax player. The Long Tomorrow is probably the bands most stunning moment to date. From that dark horn intro, simple drum rhythms carry intricate horn counterpoint forward to a dramatic climax, when the drums add a double-time pulse and the horn builds to a frenzied, dissonant wail. Ultimately, the band breaks into solos, gradually playing more freely and out of the pocket while an ominous bass rhythm creeps in from the back. Its got Mingus written all over it-- a great tribute not only to the mans music, but also to his fiery personality. https://youtube/watch?v=VhbG1JPe_JI&spfreload=10
