Ratatet - Heroes Saints & Clowns - Music & Performance - CD

"Heroes, Saints and Clowns" is Ratatet's second album of modern, eclectic jazz featuring compositions by drummer, composer Alan Hall. The music on "Heroes, Saints and Clowns" is inspired by Hall's personal icons and villains. The Bay Area-based sextet is no run-of-the-mill jazz ensemble, Ratatet is a neo-jazz sextet that uniquely features bassoon, trombone, vibraphone, piano, bass and drums.
