Abbs, Tom & Frequency Response – “Lost & Found” – [Engine Studios]

Cousin Mary   8/26/2009   CD, Jazz

Bassist Tom Abbs leads and doubles on cello, tuba, and compositions on this free-jazz mix. There is a lot of variety in these 18 relatively short tracks (1:38 to 6:01) varying from difficult (Lock, for one example) to downright pretty (e.g. Pedestrian).

This atmospheric sound and unusual combination of instruments really grew on me. See liner notes for which musicians play on which tracks.
