Sonically surprising and wonderfully pleasing inventions from the acclaimed all saxophone ensemble.

notes

The seven compositions on this recording where composed by Jon Raskin with an idealized Juke Box in mind, where any kind of music might show up from any culture or time and be combined for the next “Play”. My music listening has been informed by the spirit and work of Alan Lomax, from blues to raga, ragtime to avant-garde, pygmy chants to Korean court music, following styles and esthetics as they rubbed up against each other in the mingling of culture that was made available by intrepid searchers of music. The “sides” aren’t a direct borrowing but a weaving of the common threads that occur in all music’s.

This recording is dedicated to Alan Lomax and the Global Jukebox
