Description
Quartet album led by trumpeter/vocalist Jim Dvorak and featuring free jazz saxophonist Paul Dunmall, bassist Chris Mapp and drummer Mark Sanders.
Jim Dvorak and Paul Dunmall were two of the earliest SLAM Productions recording artists after the label was founded in 1989; Mark Sanders has also appeared on several previous SLAM releases, notably with Elton Dean, Nick Evans and of course Paul Dunmall. Bassist Chris Mapp is a new and very welcome name on the label.
The music, with the exception of "As Above, So Below", was written by Dvorak whose composition style reflects the influence of Charles Mingus. Interesting that one of Dvorak's early SLAM releases was his duo with Charles' son, Eric Mingus. The two horns show a synergy that comes from the years of association and mutual respect; Dvorak's vocals add the drama.
Personnel: Jim Dvorak (trumpet, voice), Paul Dunmall (tenor saxophone, saxello), Chris Mapp (bass), Mark Sanders (drums)
