Amalgam(e): 10 years of Red Toucan (coll) A retrospective from Montreal label Red Toucan. A nice mix of free and abstract, sweet ballads and free blowouts. There should be plenty of recognizable names here, so dig in and enjoy! Disc 1: *1. Light, quick swing (30 sec of intro banter) *2. Pretty ballad 3. Abstract alternates with sweet duet 4. Agitated group improv *5. Mellow intro leads to “world music” groove **6. Nice groove from Glenn Spearman & Co. 7. Percussive piano solo *8. Nice modern bop goes wild 9. Slow exploratory duet 10. Abstract solo bass **11. Upbeat angular bop *12. Wild disjoint improv Disc 2: **1. Blazing Brotzmann sax over powerful free rhythm section *2. Med tempo free bop *3. Nice abstract duet from Butcher & Hemmingway 4. Mellow ballad 5. Pretty and slow improv gets gradually busier *6. Flowing piano/sax duet 7. Angular duet improv 8. Slow, atmospheric drones *9. Raucous big band improv *10. Nice crazed sax over speedy rhythm section, slows at end 11. Lite ballad 12. Classical sounding piano solo Ben Bostwick 7/27/04 | ||
