Pachora

Pachora formed in the past due ’90s, melding Middle Eastern and Eastern Western musical affects into melodic and multi-rhythmic instrumental music. The music group consists of a fantastic and tasteful band of wise players: percussionist Jim Dark, clarinetist Chris Speed, guitarist Brad Shepik (who also takes on saz), and bassist Skuli Sverrisson. Pachora carry out cross originals and fresh plans on traditional tunes. Furthermore to carrying out in Pachora, the music artists are also leaders and users of many additional groups — most regularly jazz — including Black’s AlasNoAxis, John Hollenbeck’s Claudia Quintet, Dave Douglas’ Tiny Bell Trio, Tim Berne’s Bloodcount, and much more. Pachora toured following the 1997 launch of their 1st, self-titled album, released on New York’s Knitting Manufacturing plant label. Their following two albums, 1999’s Unn and 2000’s Ast, had been released on a single label. Following the change of the millennium as well as the demise of Knitting Manufacturing plant, Pachora moved to Stefan Winter’s Winter season & Winter season label for 2003’s Astereotypical, which discovered the group still on the innovative upswing. The bandmembers had been occupied with a great many other carrying out and recording tasks because the 2000s advanced, but Pachora continued to be on the trunk burner, reconvening for periodic live shows, including a mini-tour from the U.S. Midwest in nov 2011.
