Cimposium Volume 6 [coll] – [Cadence/North Country]

Thurston Hunger   9/4/2005   CD, Jazz

Tantalizing sampler for live NY music
from the Rusch family label…lot’s of
angles on upright bass anchored jazz. Some
musical chair action so you can hear a
couple of the many moods of Joe McPhee,
check out drummers like Jay Rosen (gentle)
and Lou Grassi(accelerates on #9 in the
wake of a Steve Swell) Other faves #3 was
like another world (w/ McPhee, Kowald!,
Smoker),#6 the late Glenn Spearman swings
sultry sweet #11 chomping guitar & zig-zag
cello breed brooding tension.
Taste ’em all
