Desert Songs and Other LandscapesGebhard Ullmann (Tenor Sax/Bass Clarinet), Steve Swell (Trombone), Hilliard Greene (Bass), Barry Altschul (Drums)Gebhard Ullmann, whose formidable European reputation has yet to find its match in North America, joins with Steve Swell - one of the most inventive, active, and touring trombonists on the creative improvised music scene - for a program that reflects the travels (and travails?) of their lives. And with Barry Altschul and Hill Greene handling the rhythm, you know there's no featherbedding on this road trip. Recorded June 22 & 23, 2004.Catalog Number: CIMP 284
Transforming the SpaceJoe Fonda (Bass), Barry Altschul (Drums), Billy Bang (Violin)FAB: the acronym for Fonda-Altschul-Bang is just that. Joe Fonda writes this is “one of the most enjoyable recording sessions I have done.” The spirits were in the house and
CIMP captured it all; we even left in a bit of good-natured banter among the trio. A fun fest by FAB. Recorded February 17 & 18, 2003.Catalog Number: CIMP 263
Fo(u)r Being(s)Adam Lane (Bass), John Tchicai (Tenor Saxophone), Paul Smoker (Trumpet), Barry Altschul (Drums)This is bassist Adam Lane's third release. His first 2 offered a thunderous view of his writing/arranging work for larger groups. Again, the listener is treated to Adam Lane's compositional abilities, and, in addition, is better able to hear his instrumental abilities, well-exposed over the 6 tracks. In this all-star company there's no place to hide and Adam proves he's up to the company he keeps.Catalog Number: CIMP 217
Another SideKen Simon (Tenor Saxophone), Jorge Sylvester (Alto Saxophone), Greg Maker (Bass), Barry Altschul (Drums)Ken Simon displays a serenity and lyricism that has until now been out of the forefront of his dynamic sax work. Extended playing over two Simon originals along with one composition each from Jerome Kern and John Coltrane makes for great concert listening and heralds the return of drum master Barry Altschul to the recording scene. Recorded Feb. 21 & 22, 2000.
