Ava Mendoza Unnatural Ways (USA)

AVA MENDOZA (electric guitar)
TIM DAHL (electric bass)
SAM OSPOVAT (drums)

 

A melting pot of blues, punk, psychedelic and jazz is unexpectedly found in this trio led by Ava Mendoza. Having moved from Oakland to New York in 2013, the guitarist’s main project was reconfigured with Tim Dahl and Max Jaffe, propelling the full potential of frenzy to prohibitive levels. The intensity and originality present in Mendoza’s music was soon detected by the demanding radar of John Zorn, who immediately pulled her onto the Tzadik label, on which she will release an album in 2016.
