Modern free-jazz. Quartet fronted by sax and trombone, populated by San Diego regulars. Energetic and adventurous, with some richly jazzy playing from guys who've known each other long enough to form a cohesive unit -- they're able to make tightly knit work out of loosely assembled group soloing. Straight-jazz fans can get a lot out of 1,6,8. The band takes some wilder chances on 4,5.
1- Crazed marching-band intro, midtempo, then a tough-digging rock-like bassline. Spacey trombone solo.
2- Mid/fast, kind of a stomping marching feel. Crazy sax solo.
3- Slow and grand.
4- Slow intro, into brisk disjoint improv. Nutso cartoony trombone sounds later.
5- A growing outburst of sax/trombone goodness. Then a rumbling quiet segment (with timpani!) & faster, grooving ending.
6- Fast fast bop/swing. You wouldn't know it's for Darfur.
7- Slowish and thoughtful.
8- Brightly midtempo, with a playfully trouble-brewing sound. Cool sax solo over a spare background. Later, a calm composed theme emerges over snare drum.
