Vinny Golia – A Gift For the Unusual
LA saxophonist Golia picks up a new instrument for this one.. the Tubax, which is some sort of bass saxophone somehow rearranged for size and tone optimization. It’s got a surprisingly huge, meaty sound which stands out when paired with the other low instruments (standup bass, cello, trombone) that appear on the disc. The pieces are mostly improv, but all that bass gives this album a mysterious vibe throughout.
1. Short sax solo
2. Repetitive (duh) motifs from small group
*3. Low rumbling sax with sparse, light percussion
*4. Bouncy sax/piano duet
5. Growling sax solo
*6. Jazzy low-instrument combo
*7. Slow and mysterious
*8. Creepy electronics and sax, horror movie style
9. Meandering improv with harmonica, organ and sax.. weird
10. Exploring the limits of the Tubax, slow and deliberate
*11. Haunting slow bass flute
