about

This 73-minute album captures a sextet session at HelMel Studios, on Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles, last February.

The group consists of four sax players: Vinny Golia, Patrick Shiroishi, Catherine Sikora, and Stanley Jason Zappa, joined by pianist Andrew Wedman and drummer Nick Skrowaczewski. The nine tracks showcase various combinations of players, including an opening piano and drum duo, Sikora solo, a sax trio, and various horn / piano / drums combos, culminating in the fiery all-hands-on-deck closer.

"Long, wonderful session for four saxes, piano and percussion. Vinny Golia’s reeds have long been a guiding light of the Los Angeles free scene, and this sextet play great. The tracks were recorded by a variety of smaller units as well as ‘in bulk’, and there’s even a solo piece for Catherine Sikora’s sax. Some tracks have a mix of layering and individual voicings that reminds me of Anthony Braxton’s small groups of the 1970s and 80s, and the way these guys handle space is congruent with post-AACM musical thinking. It’s a hep and interesting tape, as well as proof that at least one of Frank Zappa’s nephews has solid musical conceptions." - Byron Coley, The Wire April 2023 (issue 470)
