In the Garden

Another dose of Rudolph's world-jazz drum-circle band, with a heavy woodwind section anchored by Lateef. Many of the tracks are of the busy, rhythmic variety, but there are quite a few slower, meditative moments as well. Definite sense of organization, too, in the compositions (see 1.1, 2.1, 2.2).

DISK 1
1- Midtempo, with African sing/chanting from Lateef. Starts slow.
2- Patient sax-drum duet.
3- Large, slow-moving front. Gets quiet.
4- Sparse, creeping
5- Urgent sax squall, then slow sax-bassoon dialogue
6- Serene criss-crossing flutes, into fast drum mob. Starting at -6:00, a lone sax joined by sparse accompanyment.

DISK 2
1- Kind of Peruvian drums and flute. Mid/fast; frenetic sax-horns dialogue later
2- Jazz orchestra composition, slow
3- Floaty, with oboe and gawky nasal "cruzaphone"
4- Sax-drum showcase. Fast, with slow start and end
5- Slow, drifty
6- Gentle. Builds to a robust fast jam.
