Allen Lowe's 2-volume 4-CD set evokes through original music the musical eras that Louis Armstrong lived through, from ragtime to early jazz, swing, bebop, avant garde jazz, Dada and rock & roll, a rollicking, perceptive and fun set of compositions with contributors including Marc Ribot, Ray Anderson, Frank Lacy, Lewis Porter, Elijah Schiffer, Matt Shipp, Ursula Oppens, &c.

After a long break from their last recording, the long-lasting (since 1977!) BassDrumBone trio of Mark Helias on bass, Gerry Hemingway on drum and Ray Anderson on trombone came together for a packed 2023 concert at Zurcher Gallery, the enthusiasm resonating into this studio session days later as the trio recorded a mix of collective improvisations and one composition from each.

Saxophonist Allen Lowe's statement on American music and American song form across the many genres and styles that make up the terrain, including jazz, the blues, gospel, honky tonk, heavy metal, hillbilly/minstrel song & medicine shows, &c.; diverse forms of popular music that reflect a commingled society, as Lowe blurs the sacred and the profane with a stellar ensemble of musicians.

The 40th Anniversary release for the creative free improvising jazz trio of Gerry Hemingway (drums), Mark Helias (bass) and Ray Anderson (trombone), with guests Joe Lovano on sax and Jason Moran on piano; superb lyrical soulful collective improvisation of the finest order.
