I preordered the upcoming Strut reissue of that, sounds great

Thanks for the heads-up on that. I'm seeing Vol. 2 too.

 

The folks from Magma sent me this the other day:

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.

 

Thanks!

Duke Ellington - Hot Summer Dance (Red Baron)
A concert recording of an ordinary night on the road that captures the nonchalant, extraordinary brilliance of EKE & his orchestra.

Interestingly the arrangements by Clare Fischer went uncredited on the original LP. An intriguing treatment of Ellington pieces.
