I couldn't have put it better myself!
Based in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina, Sales de Baño is a group that brings together musicians of different nationalities. Led by Colombian composer and bassist Carlos Quebrada, their sound explorations have led them to expand the languages of jazz, and incorporate elements of experimental rock, contemporary music and free improvisation. "Geometría del vínculo" [Geometry of the bond], Sales de Baño’s third album, can be understood as an avant-garde jazz album which is also connected with the spirit of Rock in Opposition. The ostinati converse with free forms, in sequences that can lead to attacks of noisy abstraction, which spring from both rock and free jazz, then go back and build complex sonic architectures where the guitar and the trumpet are featured as solo instruments.
"Geometría del vínculo" consolidates Sales de Baño as one of the most innovative groups of the Argentinean experimental scene, which has brought to international attention other notable groups, and of similar concerns, such as Nicotina es Primavera or El devenir del Río. Sales de Baño is made up of Carlos Quebrada (bass and composition), Federico Isasti (drums), Andrés Marino (piano, keyboards and electronics), Camilo Ángeles (flutes), Mariano Cepeda (electric guitar) and Agustín Zuanigh (trumpet).

Con base en la ciudad de Buenos Aires, Argentina, Sales de Baño es una agrupación que congrega a músicos de diversas nacionalidades. Liderados por el compositor y bajista colombiano Carlos Quebrada, sus exploraciones sonoras lo han llevado a expandir los lenguajes del jazz, e incorporar elementos del rock experimental, de la música contemporánea y de la libre improvisación. “Geometría del vínculo”, el tercer álbum de Sales de Baño, puede entenderse como un disco de jazz de vanguardia y conectado con el espíritu del Rock in Opposition. Los ostinatos dialogan con formas libres, en secuencias que pueden desembocar en ataques de abstracción ruidista, que toman tanto del rock como del free jazz, para luego volver y construir complejas arquitecturas sónicas donde la guitarra y la trompeta se asoman como solistas.
“Geometría del vínculo” consolida a Sales de Baño como una de las agrupaciones más renovadoras de la escena experimental argentina, que ha dado a conocer a otros grupos notables, y de similares inquietudes, como Nicotina es Primavera o El devenir del Río. Sales de Baño está conformado por Carlos Quebrada (bajo y composición), Federico Isasti (batería), Andrés Marino (piano, teclados y electrónica), Camilo Ángeles (flautas), Mariano Cepeda (guitarra eléctrica) y Agustín Zuanigh (trompeta).

Mary Halvorson is a genius composer and guitarist who has developed her own musical language, and with Code Girl she has incorporated poetry into that language. Incredible compositions and lyricism (each track is a different kind of poem). Halvorson's playing is as great as usual, and all the other members of the band sound great. Robert Wyatt's singing in particular works extremely well in the tracks he's featured. Highly, highly recommend. rat

all of it good: the whimsy, the drama, the wild, the cosmic; deftly dancing the line between order and chaos, between the sublime and the vile, between the fathomable and the ineffable. puts the listener in a liminal limbo you don't get to be in (and still enjoy!) often. Tim Patterson
