O’s Notes: Drummer Wally Schnalle leads a jazz-fusion quartet with Hristo Vitchev (g), Joe Constantini (b) and Frank Martin (keyboards). Wally composed and arranged all of the music on Idiot Fish including the spoken interludes. There is an insatiable groove that prevails throughout the set. The use of electronics is successfully integrated into the mix leading to a spacey, fusion groove that is enjoyable!
