Omar and Charlie started playing together around 1991, and have played with a number of different third band members over the years. The duo format seems to allow the greatest improvisational freedom, so they’ve been using that format exclusively for the last few years. Passing Wind invokes the influences of Ornette Coleman, Miles Davis, Shagnia Twain, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Tom Waits, and according to nearly everyone who sees them play, Frank Zappa. |
