Right Brain Patrol, put out on JMT label, is a studio album by jazz acoustic bassist Marc Johnson and the first with his trio featuring guitarist Ben Monder and percussionist and singer Arto Tuncboyaciyan.
[1][2] The Allmusic review by Sean Westergaard awarded the album 2½ stars,[3] stating "Right Brain Patrol features Marc Johnson in a trio setting with guitarist Ben Monder (among his first recordings) and percussionist Arto Tunçboyaciyan.
"Batuki Burundi" is a solo bass vehicle, and Johnson and Tunçboyaciyan basically divide the rest of the composing duties, with Monder contributing one piece and sharing credits on two more.
The title cut has Monder and Johnson trading off leads and support in a lively conversation.
"Heru Nazel" has some nice arco bass work and great guitar, but also has some of the aforementioned vocals.
