McDonas, Thollem and John Dieterich – “All For Now” – [Dromos Records]

How fitting that these two musicians should come together for their first collaboration at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art! McDonas on piano and voice, and Dieterich (from Deerhoof) on guitar here present lovely, spare, sometimes jarring, sometimes gentle compositions that are thoroughly modernistic works of art in their own right. You’ll feel like a connoisseur as you listen to these artists and enjoy the cover work of visual artist Martha Colburn.
