ObbligatoObbligatoMary LaRose (Vocals), Jeff Lederer (Reeds), Steve Swell (Trombone), Dominic Duval (Bass)Integrating material from a broad idiomatic range including Charles Mingus, Duke Ellington, Randy Newman, Jimi Hendrix, Ornette Coleman, Claude Thornhill, Albert Ayler and others, vocalist extraordinaire Mary LaRose leads a strong improvising quartet. Out of the tradition but clearly of today and tomorrow, this is music as challenging as it is sensual.
Catalog Number: CIMP 244
Two Letters I'll KeepTwo Letters I'll KeepRosie Hertlein (Violin), Howard Johnson (Reeds), Vincent Chancey (French Horn), David Taylor (Trombone), Charles Burnham (Violin), Jay Rosen (Percussion)On her debut recording as leader, Rosi Hertlein is more than a violinist, she proves to also be an arranger and organizer of improvised sound that combines pastoral subtlety and flow with thoughtful Free improvisation. This is an atypical dynamic with the sextet working within the ambiance and structure of a group sound or coordinate. Recorded April 23 & 24, 2001.
Catalog Number: CIMP 231
Seismic PlantSeismic PlantMasashi Harada (Percussion), Bhob Rainey (Reeds), Mike Bullock (Bass)A free improv date of great variety and precision. CIMP has captured the extraordinary percussionist (and very credible pianist, but that's another story) in a definitive session. Precise, clear and melodic avant music. Recorded August 23 & 24, 2000.
