Mammal Hands - Shadow Work (Gondwana Records, 2017). Jordan Smart - sax; Nick Smart - piano; Jesse Barrett - drums, perc. Newly released third album. Swell chamber jazz.

Kevin Eubanks - Live at Bradley's (Blue Note, 1994). Kevin Eubanks - guitar; James Williams - piano; Robert Hurst - bass. I'm not sure how a guitarist's trio can be recorded live with the guitar so absolutely buried by the piano and bass. The mix is better on the 1953 recording of the Quintet's Live at Massey Hall. Blue note should be ashamed. That being said, James Williams flat out burns.the house down on several cuts.

I got to knowing Emilio through his 2013 release Música Para un Dragon Dormido, a Dave Sumner reco a few years back. This older release is decent enough on first listen, with hints of what's to come in compositions like [T] la Arania '08.

Interesting. I didn't know Marshall had put out a Hermeto album; I'll be sure to look into it. I saw Marshall paired with the bandolim player Hamilton de Holanda at Savannah Music Festival about ten or so years ago. Talk about two guys having fun.... NP Daniel Schläppi with Jürg Bucher & Colin Vallon - Dimensions Live (Catwalk Records, 2008). Daniel Schläppi - bass; Jürg Bucher- drums; Colin Vallon - piano.
