Contains: \"Monads\" for an ensemble (with Anthony Davis, piano; Douglas Ewart, bass clarinet; Leroy Jenkins, violin; G. Lewis, alto and tenor trombones; Roscoe Mitchell, soprano sax; Abdul Wadud, cello) ...fleeting melodic fragments amidst pointillistic (but not \"abstract\" !) textures, constantly re-defined and varied; \"Triple Slow Mix,\" a trio for two pianos and sousaphone ...a steady and slowly varied bass passacaglia surrounded by either extremely fast pointillistic playing or banal almost-quotes as if from music \"literature,\" like a blasé music student in his practice room just trying to make it through the day...every once in a while someone shouts \"hey !\" \"Cycle\" (with Lewis on Moog synthesizer)...humorous and touching solos of mid-range sounds, you smile and you don't know why; \"Shadowgraph, 5 (Sextet)\" for the previous large ensemble, also with Muhal Richard Abrams, piano, and G. Lewis also on sound-tube ...someone near us is explaining something but we don't quite get it ...perhaps it's something \"foreign\" ...a tapestry of gestures, quick shadows of the initial event. ~ \"Blue\" Gene Tyranny","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51076848615711,"sku":"8052405142412","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/39dafc2e36ca2ee4d1b58c05c6a07e08.jpg?v=1753542801","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/shadowgraph-5-sextet","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
