A great example of traditional free improvisation spanning generations from the quartet of Danny Kamins on baritone saxophone, Damon Smith on double bass, and two drummer/percussionists--Alvin Fielder and Joe Hertenstein--for 10 tracks of swinging free music recorded in the studio in Texas, 2016, jazz with a lyrical intention and powerful rhythmic underpinnings.
Format: CD Condition: New Released: 2017 Country: UK Packaging: Digipack Recorded at SugarHill Studios in Houston, Texas, on April 1st, 2016 by Jonathan Chan.
"These 10 relaxed quartet improvisations move between sound and swing with little effort. Houston has a great improvised music scene, but is light on drummers, Danny Kamins & I found ourselves with two fine percussionists in town at the same time. We had access to a good studio and were able to capture the detail of the music.
It is a case of four generations of musicians being able to find so much common ground because of different experiences in the music and not in spite of them. It also shows to continued renewal of material from all historical periods of improvised music."-Damon Smith
