Lurie, Jessica - Motorbison Serenade
SKU
ZIPA1
Excellent first solo release by alto/tenor saxist Jessica, who is best know as a member of the Billy Tipton Memorial Sax Quartet for over a decade. While I suppose this album could be called a "new jazz" disc, the music crosses into rock areas as well, and the compositions are both adventurous and tuneful - not an easy thing - and something that this album shares with the BTMSQ, although the actual sound is quite different, due to the radically different instrumentation. The basic band is guitar, viola (by Eyvind Kang), acoustic bass & drums, with a few additional guests. Recommended!
