Songs of LivingDylan Taylor (Bass, Cello), Kelly Meashey (Voice)Hey, if you don't like vocal dates 'cause they die after just one listening, then check this out - it's incredible! And if you like vocals but not avant, this will challenge you, yet is still very accessible. Included with the standards/non-originals are 2 Dylan Taylor compositions so poignant and personal that one almost feels as though they are an intruder just by listening. If you matter-of-factly discount vocalists, give this one a try - it should make you re-evaluate your comfort (or is that your discomfort?) zone. Recorded October 30 & 31, 2002, The Spirit Room, Rossie, NY.Catalog Number: CIMP 268
Recollections of Darby HicksBob Washington (Voice), Steve Swell (Trombone), Dominic Duval (Bass)This date is essentially a "brother's" narrative of growing up in America from the pre- WWII years. It's a story funny, funky, and poignant, and delivered with improvised surroundings which suggest some parallels to the collaboration between Charles Mingus and Jean Shephard on "The Clown." A good tale, well told with outstanding improvisations. Recorded April 23 & 24, 2002.Catalog Number: CIMP 235
Four Compositions (Duets) 2000Anthony Braxton (Alto Saxophone), Alex Horwitz (Voice)Expect the unexpected when Anthony and Alex improvise around and with the spoken word using a variety of ad lib strategies, a snapshot of its time but universal in its implications, each listening will make you re-evaluate the possibilities of ephemera and randomness and the creative process. This remains one of Anthony's more controversial recordings. Recorded October 30 & 31, 2000.Catalog Number: CIMP 229
