about
I think I remember Kalí writing this piece when he was studying at the Manhattan School of Music. We were working with the idea that the composition was not a derivative process but rather one that has a concept, whether literal or abstract that is somehow fully formed. There are so many ways to compose but this method means you use many techniques to realize a work before you put pencil to paper. This piece reveals an intellectual prowess and the potential that Kalí has to realize large works. Bam's solo is melodic with a strong rhythmic componentry. It is not simply a "bass" solo but a solo set free from its source instrument.

This could’ve been my album of the year if I’d noticed it. Hell. 2020, feeling like shit and then this musical balm appears. Live recording on one mic. Just bass and harp. Awesome. It swings like a pendulum do! Big shout out for Dezron’s love of coffee. I now have 2 of his albums and he’s proselytising on behalf of coffee on both. Damn right ☕️

This is a wonderful album! Dave Douglas is one of my heroes. He's more than a great musician. He has a vision for the music and a feeling for putting together a group which is unique. So, beside Joey Baron (another heavyweight and one of my absolute favourite drummers) he invited some young cats to this session. They play just great and make sure that this music sounds totally fresh, whilst at the same time being deeply rooted in the jazz tradition.
