GOD.DAMN.CHAN - SLUSH
Busted beats with a very bassy bottom – the kind of record
that can really give your speakers a workout, while also delivering a
surprisingly lyrical sort of vibe overall! God Damn Chen is very much a 21st
Century talent – drawing on a range of earlier funky influences, but making
something completely new and very much his own – as messed-up as it is mindful
– crackling with a strong sense of urgency, but always sounding a bit personal
as well! The blend is wonderful, and makes this instrumental set so different
and so much more rewarding than the too-easy downtempo of the generation before
– on titles that include "To My Friends", "Groovybby",
"Smoke Break", "Supa Ugly", "Syrup Bath", and
"Whatitdo". ~ Dusty Groove
JESSE DULMAN QUARTER – LIVE AT DOWNTOWN MUSIC GALLERY
There's just a handful of musicians who've been able to make
amazing music on the tuba over the years – maybe Joe Daley, or the great Ray
Draper, who recorded early with John Coltrane. And to that list, we might add
Jesse Dulman – a musician who's labored in greater obscurity, in the farther
reaches of the New York scene – territory that he uses for a great comeback
scene, recorded in the basement of the Downtown Music Gallery on the lower east
side! Dulman's got fantastic collaborators here – Ras Moshe on tenor and Dave
Sewelson on baritone and sopranino sax – both reed musicians whose sense of
texture really resonates with Jesse at the best moment – as Dulman uses his
instrument to move between basslines and more outside melodic passages. Leonid
Galaganov plays drums and percussion – and titles include "Thanks To
William Parker", "Confusion", "Making Amends To Chelsea The
Neighborhood", and "Homage To Charles McGee, Kalaparusha Maurice
McIntyre, & Will Connell". (Limited to 250 copies.) ~ Dusty Groove
