Unusual combo of cello, cornet, vibes and bass (no drummer). A very open session; tends toward expansive group improvisation, as opposed to individual solos. Carries kind of a chamber-jazz sound. Overall a slow, muddy feel, probably a side effect of using bowed cello as a lead instrument. A slower, somber type of free jazz without the fast blowouts you'd normally expect. Different and takes a little getting used to. Bassist is Joe Morris, the reknowned avant-jazz guitarist who's been trying his hand at electric bass lately. 1- Ghostly, squirrely noises over a jazz bass walk 2- Slowish feel, w/fast insistent ending 3- Very slow. Somber classical feel. 4- Wild, swirling; turns into slow free improv 5- Floaty, slow 6- Stumbly, groping 7- Slow, mournful 8- Slow, but happier; more casual than sad 9- Careful, sparse 10- Oddball swing with sour tones; midtempo | ||
