On New Tones home-made Detroit electronics and huge horn
sections blast big band funk and riotous jazz. NOMO’s roots
are firmly planted in the fertile soil of African polyrhythm and
American free jazz, and bandleader Elliot Bergman’s tracks
draw inspiration from cultures and generations wildly different
than his home setting. In many ways (at least geographically and
sonically) NOMO are a distant relative of the TRIBE collective.
Undoubtedly they carry the spirit of the legendary Detroit-label’s
creative output.
