Cassette + Digital Album
With a narrative flow doing somersaults at the interstices of dream and nightmare, James Ilgenfritz’s quintet features a familiar dual woodwind frontline of JD Parran and Ras Moshe supported by a rhythm section of Ilgenfritz (bass), Payton MacDonald (vibraphone), and Nava Dunkelman (percussion). The music frequently shifts between the ecstatic, ruminative, energetic, and dynamic. Out 10/31
