We want to recommend a fusion project to you. No, wait — come back! Yeah, yeah, the word fusion scares many a music fan (e.g., its recent use on The Mighty Boosh as a punch line for pretentious, just-for-specialists music that won't get anyone laid), but one also could argue that most music is a fusion of other things. It just depends on what is being fused and how. Meet the Carolina Chocolate Drops, revivalists of string-band and jug-band music of the early jazz era, and their fusion partners the Luminescent Orchestrii, a gypsy punk band. Now add beat-boxer Adam Matta and run all of that through a lusty, jazzy repertoire that somehow drafts Blu Cantrell's "Hit 'em Up Style" into its melange. Quality label Nonesuch has just released a delicious four-song EP of their collaboration, which twists the promise of the Drops' surprising debut, Genuine Negro Jig, into something rarer: fusion, the right way.
Don't forget to check your other local hang-outs like bowling alleys, pizza shops, various
repair shops, libraries, the town hall, university and your favorite retailer. It really helps
if you are able to focus and aim for what you want to do. The right jobs for 17 year olds will
bring meaning into what you're doing and you'll have fun. Your eagerness to go to work will
just continue. You might even be surprised it's payday already.
