In Praise Of Monkeywrenching

'Raising Holy Sparks is David Colohan playing music with quite a variety of people on quite a number of records. He also plays quite a number of instruments on quite a variety of styles of music on those records. I think the words I’m looking for are “creativity” and “talent.” For “In Praise Of Monkeywrenching, In Memory Of Edward Abbey…” he plays with drummer Enda Trautt and the two of them create a mighty free jazz noise. They jump out of the gate in fairly aggressive fashion, drums and sax speeding along. While there are moments where one or the other takes a bit of a “breather,” the music on the first two tracks maintains a level of energy and forward momentum.
