Is this or any of their other records something you'd recommend?

Yes, I would definitely recommend Oahspe.  It doesn't at all sound like first record.  Terrific playing and interesting compositions, most of which are by Helias.

The other album from BassDrumBone that I listen to most often is Right Down Your AlleyIt was actually released under Ray Anderson's leadership (on Soul Note in '84) -- but it's the same trio.

IMO, Mark Helias is the "glue" in that band, and he's one of those musicians who seems to always be making interesting music.  He's made a bunch of outstanding records too with his band Open Loose -- with Tom Rainey and Tony Malaby (and sometimes Ellery Eskelin).  Have you heard Atomic Clock or Verbs of Will?  More outstanding music in the same neighborhood as BassDrumBone.

I have a copy of that in the pile to go to the second hand shop this week, perhaps i should listen to it again beforehand 🤔
