Threadgill, Henry / Zooid – “Tomorrow Sunny / The Revelry, Spp” – [Pi Recordings]

Cousin Mary   6/23/2012   CD, Jazz

Compositions are by sax and flute player Threadgill. Then they are improvised by the performers who are asked to have a free conversation, free of cliches. Often engaging, sometimes a bit too much noodling for my taste. Cello and tuba add a unique aspect. Zooid has been playing together since 2000: the name refers to an organism that is a single animal that is part of a colony.

PGM: Track 7 merely reads aloud the information that is on the CD case.
