 The
Cellorettes present a dramatic brand of music drawn from a variety of
musical backgrounds. They comprise 3 cellos, percussion and bass guitar
with a little bit of harmonica, violin and banjo from one of the
cellists.
This
unusual combination provides a rich melodic sound backed by the
percussion and bass guitar to give a driving beat to their jazz/funk
numbers. They take their influences from Irish jigs, oriental, Indian
and Latin sources. Although their set is mainly up tempo, they slow
things down with several lyrical and emotional pieces.
The
Cellorhythmics perform an unusual and enjoyable range of music with
panache.
