Jazz / Avant-Garde Jazz / Experimental / Modern Creative / Baritone Saxophone
Admittedly, I listened to this album under duress. It was part of a listening assignment, via a college I do research at, and I wasnt expecting much when I stuck it in the player. Well, boy was I surprized. - - Based upon the name of this group and the names of the tunes I was expecting something very out and off - - you know, like the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Sun Ra, even Zorn. Well.. what I got was a bop driven hard swinging somewhat avant garde big band with an energetic edge.
The arrangements are never laid back, but nor are they chaos and cacaphony. You can follow and dig whats going on, and theres some heavy blowing, rhythm, piano, bass playing and even Jazzoetry. Ho seems to be more of a leader than a soloist, but whatever he is, its his CD and it drives straight through, emotions abound from bittersweetness, fury to coolness. Get it !
