Editorial Reviews
Ben Kupstas, Cornell Daily Sun
"Wingnut flaunts innovative musical chops and irresistible soul."

Product Description
"Color", boasts a broad sonic and stylistic spectrum, more complex production, and combines studio and live tracks. Featuring guest vocalists, horn players, and a DJ, this is an exciting album, with an emphasis on diversity and contrast. here's a closer look...

1 EMERGE : a heavy backbeat kicks the album into drive, locking Walt Lorenzut's compelling bass against keyboard wunderkind Michael Stark, who shifts gears between throaty Hammond B3 organ, pacific Rhodes piano and humanoid synthesizer 2 YELLOWBIRD : takes wing with dexterous guest tenor saxophonist Joe Kaczorowski, who glides over a soul rhythm section 3 GALOSHES : a vehicle for vocalist Jen Middaugh, who dresses the intense tone poem with a Sade-coolness 4 SUGNIM : an ode to bass legend Charles Mingus- visiting trumpeter Paul Merrill quotes Miles Davis circa 1960 while drummer Zaun Marshburn stars as a player with lyricism and muscle 5 HEAD TOASTER : jerks with a funky, happy Herbie Hancock/Headhunter twang 6 TIN CAN : if John Bonham gigged with Weather Report, they might sound like this- a short but intense fuzztone condensation written by Marshburn 7 THREE BROTHERS FROM DETROIT : a somber and introspective piano theme juxtaposed elegantly with a brisk tempo post-bop break 8 WIGGLE WAGGLE : wingnut interprets a Herbie Hancock classic with guest dj M.O.P. on turntables 9 BAG SLAP : rap poetry of Judith Burton leads into an urban groove, a vision walk rippled by surreal samples and sensuous singing by Jen Middaugh 10 FOUR PATHS : as read by a jagged organ and speedfreak rhythm section- a rush hour break down on I-75 between merciless skyscrapers 11 WINDSHIELD LETTERS : a narrative piece that allows Stark to work with everything in his pencilbox: expressive organ, gorgeous piano and commanding stereo synthesizer...
