LifeLine Joel Futterman (piano, curved soprano saxophone, Indian flute) Ike Levin (tenor saxophone, bass clarinet) Kash Killion (cello) Another Drimala exclusive...the third release from the Joel Futterman-Ike Levin Group, this time featuring cellist Kash Killion. The trio creates spontaneous improvised music with a powerful sense of movement, purpose, and cohesive action. These three musicians display an innate sense of connection that keeps them in close communication throughout and brings their individual creativity together into a single, synergistic musical expression. This is a tight improvisational trio that produces vibrant, inspired music that is highly engrossing, emotional, and unquestionably communicative. With no reservations, this recording comes with our highest recommendation. 5 tracks in 63:33 "Passionate dialogue, climatic movements and free style escapades." -- Glenn Astarita, All About Jazz "...jazz experimentation at its most audacious and fiercely committed." -- Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune :::>> Tell A Friend About This CD From Drimala If you like this cd, you might also enjoy listening to: InterView (Futterman, Levin, Hunt) The Present Gift (Futterman, Levin) Authenticity (Futterman, Parker, Williams) Southern Extreme (Futterman, Jordan, Fielder) Revelation (Kidd Jordan - Joel Futterman) |
