Art Ensemble Of Chicago – Sirius Calling The final recording of the AEC with longtime bassist Malachi Favors. The tracks here are short bursts of searching, exploratory improv and the wide array of instruments used gives this an exotic vibe. Good stuff, though a few tracks do end up sounding sloppy and unfocused instead of exploratory. 1. Loud, wild sax 2. Slow woodwind explorations *3. Bouncy clarinet 4. Meandering group improv 5. Poetry start, then light groove *6. Jazzy with great bass solo *7. Chiming percussion *8. Speedy free workout 9. Loping improv 10. More chiming percussion w/ flute starting halfway through 11. Chaotic improv *12. Pretty ballad 13. Meditative ruminations 14. Eastern sounding percussion Ben B 10/26/04 | ||
