SUMMARY:Club d'Elf ft. John Medeski and Jonathan Grusauskas (lespecial)
DESCRIPTION:What begins as a groove in Club d’Elf’s world often becomes
  a doorway into someplace older\, stranger and unshackled by time. The ban
 d has spent twenty seven years helping audiences lose track of time with i
 ts shape-shifting fusion of Moroccan trance\, dub\, electronica\, jazz and
  improvised funk. Built around bassist and composer Mike Rivard\, each per
 formance features a rotating cast drawn from Boston\, New York and beyond\
 , creating a constantly shifting ecosystem where trance forms the central 
 core of the band’s aesthetic. Under longtime member and Casablanca nativ
 e Brahim Fribgane\, the group absorbed Moroccan trance music deeply into i
 ts DNA. Fribgane passed away in early 2024\, but his spirit remains embedd
 ed in the band’s sound\, especially through Rivard’s commanding sintir
  work\, learned under the guidance of Fribgane and Gnawa masters Hassan Ha
 kmoun and Mahmoud Guinia.\nTheir new album\, Loon and Thrush (due out 4/10
 /26)\, recorded entirely live in the studio with minimal overdubs\, channe
 ls that lineage into a raw\, improvisatory flight. While largely built on 
 Rivard originals\, the album continues the band’s tradition of honoring 
 key influences\, offering Moroccan-infused takes on Grateful Dead classics
  “Bird Song” and “New Speedway Boogie.” The overarching theme of t
 he record is “flight” itself — the avian imagery of the title track\
 , the Dead’s celestial wanderings\, and the enduring presence of Fribgan
 e\, whose spirit continues to guide the music from beyond.\nhttps://clubde
