Spiritual Car Wash is the second album in less than a year from this Macedonian jazz super-group of sleazy musical outcasts. But make no mistake, this is a completely different driver and vehicle. Not the thick mysterious aura of a midnight prowler looking for trouble, but the off-beat asphalt reveries of a retired trapeze performer. The circus people mismanaged the pension funds, so he has to drive in his late 60’s. His car number is 49. The company he drives for: Panorama. In the trunk he carries his old Olympia typewriter. Because, of course he also writes. A proud author of ten obscure monographies about the food in the town of Resen, located in the deep south of Macedonia, with a very curious type of cuisine and eating habits. Loves to talk all day long about chakras, transcendental meditation and karmic readjustments. Plays only Duke Ellington’s Far East Suite on the car stereo, but in reverse. He brags to passengers that this way he knows all the Johnny Hodges lines on the record by heart, and if they are not convinced, he confidently hums along, perfectly in tune with the upside-down music. A pleasant fellow…
