Twelves

The original Twelves Trio is a long-standing band. It was formed from producer Ben Lamdin’s Nostalgia 77 band and was inspired by Vosloo, bassist and composer’s love for William Parker’s records. After their debut CD titled “Here Comes the Woodman and his Splintered Soul” (1965 Records/Sony 2008), they added guitarist Updegraff to their lineup and began gigging. Their second CD, “The Adding Machine” (Babel Label 2011), is a mix of composition and free improvisation that can be compared to Ornette Coleman’s Prime Time, Last Exit, and Power Tools-era Bill Frisell. Their third CD, ‘Strange Folk,’ is due to be released on Babel in May 2016. From www.gigmit.com
