THROUGH THE BADLANDS
about
Arthur Vint & Associates’ debut album “Through The Badlands” evokes visions of the western American landscape, with its vast open expanses and rocky terrain. Rooted in the great American traditions of jazz and rock ‘n’ roll, the album weaves contemporary influences with vintage country as well as traditional Native American spiritual music, drawing on the images and sounds of Vint’s childhood growing up in Tucson, Arizona. Vint’s diverse influences on this album range from Neil Young to Thelonious Monk, Marty Robbins to John Coltrane and beyond.

DEATH RIDES A HORSE
about
Oh, the joys and pains of living by the bullet, riding from town to town through moonlit sands at an unhurried pace, and watching as the occasional tumbleweed rolls around, carried by a light wind. Arthur Vint & Associates new album, Death Rides A Horse, further explores themes from their first outing, this time focusing on the music of the great Spaghetti Western soundtrack composer Ennio Morricone. The band interprets these famous themes in their unique country/jazz style.
