smokin' recommendation: Evan Parker's "TIME LAPSE"

Evan Parker, first generation British improvisor, collaborated with genius producer John Zorn to produce one of the most shockingly brilliant albums of solo sax I have ever heard. It consists of overdubbed pieces, often reminiscent of Terry Riley's minimal soprano loops of the 70's. It is a spectacularly recorded album, very intimate sounding in its presentation of these vast sonic fields. Any fans of minimalism or free jazz will be duly challenged and delighted. 5 stars!

Title: 'Time Lapse'
Label: Tzadik

Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you or go against your vast opinion based knowledge of music. But by posting "one of the most shockingly brilliant albums of solo sax I have ever heard", you are opening up quite a juggernaut.

"If you don't like it, fine."

I don't like it. How would you have me state that, since you apparentely didn't like my choice of the word awful?

Okay, it's not my cup of tea either. Does that make you feel better?
