The Coctails were an eclectic "garage jazz band" of self-taught musicians who experimented with various instruments and played in a manner they described as the Chinese Fire Drill method, in which they rotated instruments during live sets.
The foursome were sometimes pigeon-holed as a "lounge music band". However, they were curious musical adventurers and eager for a challenge. In their final years they also explored avant-garde jazz and indie rock.
The band's catalogue is pretty immense and, as a result I found myself selecting songs that showcased the band's seemingly depthless creativity and unpredictable versatility.
As always,
*** ENJOY ***
