🚨 BACK IN STOCK on CD 🚨 — from @corbettvsdempseymu

🚨 BACK IN STOCK on CD 🚨 — from @corbettvsdempseymusic , “One day in the studio, something ridiculously great happened. It was deep Chicago winter, cold as shit. Four musicians assembled for a round-robin set of improvisations – duets, trios, a few quartets. Approached casually, the late morning bloomed into Largest Afternoon, 15 crackling encounters between guitarist @artolindsay , saxophonists Joe McPhee and @ken_vandermark , and drummer Phil Sudderberg. No expectations – open minds and creative intent.”

“Lindsay, a brilliant singer and songwriter and one of the key architects of No Wave via his band DNA, has proven himself once again to be one of the world’s top texturalists, and he is an equally sensitive and challenging group improvisor. Vandermark and McPhee brought their long friendship and musical partnership to the studio, and both engaged with Lindsay in different ways, bringing blue flame and melody. The session’s final wildcard, Sudderberg, a versatile drummer who collaborates with Vandermark on the band Marker, brought a lovely sense of buoyancy and ear for contrast in colors, as well as a raucous rock pulse. With parts this stellar, imagine when Largest Afternoon > than the sum. Nobody knew this would happen.”

💥 The 79th edition of the Catalytic Artist Albums

💥 The 79th edition of the Catalytic Artist Albums continues with “Dubuque Duets”, a live set from September 2024, recorded at the @smokestackdbq club near the shores of the Mississippi River. When @timothymark1976 was invited to bring in a group for a special event the club was hosting, he jumped at the chance to continue the duo dialogue with @bishopjeb —a format they have presented off and on since the early 2000s. The result is a focused and engaging fifty minutes of improvisation, grounded in deep listening and flowing in and out of a wide range of sonic landscapes with the intention, clarity, and patience that over three decades of working together can provide. Made in Dubuque, IA. // Design by @federicoplva

🚨 NEW ADDITION on CD 🚨 — “From a night of music in Holland that's become legendary among NRG Ensemble enthusiasts, Hold That Thought presents a blazing concert of the quintet's unique sound. With Mars Williams and @ken_vandermark on reeds, Kent Kessler and @soundstrom on basses (the latter doubling on trumpet and electric guitar), and @stevehunt761 on drums, this incarnation of the band was arguably its tightest and mightiest, taking the inspiration of founder Hal Russell (1926-1992) and running with it.”
