Throw in some hard bop jazz with some boogaloo, add a dose of reggae with a few game show themes, dump in a cup of bossa nova, a dash of Duke Ellington and Andrew Lloyd Weber and a dollop of Benzedrine funk. Give it a mix on low speed, then take the lid off and hit liquefy and get out of the way. That's Mostly Other People Do the Killing.\n\nMostly Other People Do the Killing is a quartet founded on the idea that not only is Jazz still alive and vibrant, but it can and should be fun, engaging and thoroughly contemporary.\n\nEach of the four members of MOPDTK is a product of the institutional Jazz Education system with additional influences immediately recognizable. Peter Evans, who attended the Oberlin Conservatory with bassist, Moppa Elliott, was a Classical trumpet student who has since become a rising star in the improvised music scene. Jon Irabagon, a Chicago native, studied at both the Manhattan School of Music and Juilliard after leaving his hometown and completing his undergraduate work at De Paul. Drummer Kevin Shea is probably best known as an influential innovator of the indie- rock scene and became known to experimental music aficionados after recording with the band, "Storm and Stress," in the late '90's. The chaotic elasticity and overwhelming density of his drumming belies not only his training at Berklee and the New School, but his admiration for drummers as disparate as Jeff "Tain" Watts and Stewart Copland.
