THE POLICE
Deidre Muro and Paul Hammer of Savoir Adore are refreshingly free of egos. I had the opportunity to let them finish each other's sentences on the first night of their 3-week residency at Cake Shop. We chatted about the creative process, Brooklyn, and just what Paul plans to do when playing shows just isn't enough to keep him awake anymore.
How did you two start writing together? How did you begin collaborating musically?
You don’t have to be an acid-fried, VW driving, hippie-burnout to appreciate a good jam-band, nor do you have to be a hoity-toity, pinky-flaring, culture snob to appreciate the subtle nuances of good improvisation. In fact, the presence of a loyal fan-base is far from evidence proving notable talent (need I cite the existence of multiple Paris Hilton fan-clubs?). But, there is one so-called “jam-band” that transcends the barriers between underground appeal and critical notoriety. Regularly treading their own successful path through the journey toward musical greatness is the Chicago-based improvisational conglomerate, Umphrey’s McGee.
