After Paranoid Android take the avant-garde metallers from Imperial Triumphant as part of their monthly cover series, Dizzie Gillespie’s Jazz Standard A Night in Tunisia an.

Bassist Steve Blanco on this title choice between a previous one Radiohead– and a subsequent one Rush-Tribute: „Echoing the sounds of mid-twentieth century greatness, this tune was penned in New York City then renamed following an Exotic Place. Imperial Triumphant would love to play in Tunisia someday. Our exciting version plays particularly from the 1960 recording by Art Blakey And The Jazz Messengers. Lee Morgan was on that record; he got shot by his ex-girlfriend while on a gig and bled to death. The USA produced some great art in the 1960s, and NYC used to be a great meeting point for musicians. Like the points of light in the Chrysler Building’s crown, some music transcends the ages.

actually lies A Night in Tunisia alias Interlude Blanco, Zachary Ezrin (guitar) and Kenny Grohowski (drums) far more consistent than Paranoid Android. This cover succeeds on another level because Imperial Triumphant make the instrumental piece even more seamlessly their own, jazz is elementary in their metal anyway, and the chemistry with the composition is above all more natural and boils down the bebop as a technically intensive witch’s cauldron with a lot of feeling.
There is now a crude, spasmodic whirlpool of frenzy and controlled nervousness, where the original trumpet theme is taken over by psychedelic rushing guitars, the brilliant percussion felt to be everywhere, and the stringed instruments rumbling scurrying through every pore of a wildly tossing interpretation appear, while the leitmotif emerges once more and once more from this bubbling organism like a feverish intoxication.
