? The trio?s second album ?Inventing the Wheel? will be released on June 29 on Ropeadope Records. As the new album?s title suggests Domnarski?s compositions tend to stray from the traditional jazz standards into more adventurous territory. His music blends electronic rock hip-hop and pop elements to create a unique sound not heard elsewhere in the instrumental jazz realm. ?It?s still jazz but it?s very much influence by rock and even some Motown hip-hop and groove elements? he said. ?It?s jazz in that it?s instrumental and improvisational but compositionally I really gravitate toward traditional song forms writing very strong melodies and grooves that kind of shy away from the traditional jazz format. We aren?t really a traditional jazz band that?s trying to do things with different sounds; the sounds are a part of the song they are very important to the compositional process itself.

The musicians recently travelled across nine cities in the country to promote their latest album Hello Hello. Their gigs featured a jugalbandi with New York-based tabla maestro Karsh Kale who has been playing the tabla for over a decade now. “Playing the tabla with a DJ set is not about layering its beats over electronic music. It is an entire process of adapting to the sound and adding to the overall attitude. There is a musical interaction that goes on between two musicians doing two different things at the same time” says Kale. Acts like Blot and Jalebee Cartel have also taken to such live jamming.

It’s just adding my favorite style of music and making something that I enjoy.
