Seattle based Reptet is among a diverse group of independent musicians named as a Finalist in the 8th Annual Independent Music Awards.  Their 2008 release, Chicken or Beef? (Monktail Records) is a finalist for Jazz Album of the Year.  Reptet is a genre bending band of jazz musicians based out of Seattle, WA. These six multi-instrumentalists have an expansive approach to jazz, performing original compositions that incorporate rock, ska, punk, modern classical, avant garde, eastern European folk influences and more. Their internationally acclaimed 2006 release, "Do This!" (Monktail Records) won many accolades and was chosen Jazz CD of the year by Jazziz Magazine’s Alex Gelfand. They have toured nationally and will be launching their first European tour in the summer of 2009.

How about this folks.

Monktail Records is proud to bring you Show me what ya working with. The newest and firstest CD from Deals Number.

The longest running Monktail contingent in Seattle, Deal’s Number represents the Monktail philosophy of improvisation and spontaneous composition through the musings of saxophonist Bill Monto. Classically trained and devoid of jazz cliché and traditionalist hubris, Monto’s tone stretches and skronks and splats patterns of sound around the rolling boil of the Seman/Ostrowski rhythm section. Show Me features new works, group improvisations, and an extended suite extracted from an Ostrowski ballet. Live studio mix and production by Doug Haire at Jack Straw Productions. Deluxe packaging includes two action paintings by Seattle artist Jay Mason. Limited edition digipack released October 2007.

Purchase this new work in our new store.

Thanks to everyone who showed up at Egan’s.
