Joyous large-ensemble session with lots of open-ended improvisation. Tracks include composed threads and prearranged solos, so it's not all one big blur. Loud and exhiliarating, mostly fast tempos, with some expert soloing. It's an 18-piece band performing a piece about fear of the number 13. The band comprises some of Southern California's finest jazz/improv artists including Vinny Golia (the Bay Area's Ernesto Diaz-Infante is in there as well). Every track is energetic -- even the slow ones -- and worth a spin. 1- Slow symphonic horn theme, pretty and hymn-like. Into slow abstract improv that includes a squirrely sax solo. 2- Mad soft swirling w/flutes, and a fast brass interlude 3- Slow-moving, with an aggressive, swooping composed line. Cool little rhythm later 4- Creeping and ominous, w/screechy overblowing sax solo 5*- Tumbling mid/fast, a stomping feel 6*- Clockworks gone mad, dueling with the slow theme from #1 7- Quiet busy jungle pulse; raspy horns like lone wild birds 8- Fast horn flurries, with pauses and quiet segments. 9- Fast w/ soft feel. Bass and flute solos 10- Bass clarinet solo, aggressive. Ends with screechy loudness 11*- Jazzy horn jam 12- Slow, groany 13*- Slow, w/big loud guitar freakout! | ||
