- positive catastrophe: garabatos volume one
(2009, cd, usa, cuneiform records rune 286)
This 10-piece big band started out as a collaboration between Taylor Ho Bynum (cornet) and Abraham Gomez-Delgado (percussion). The duo also signed for all of the compositions.
The music is probably best described as spacy latin big band jazz.
"Garabatos Volume One" presents beautiful melodies, latin rhythms and fine improvisations that remind me a lot of my favourite Arkestra.
This is a very impressive debut and it comes as no suprise that the included "Travels" suite is dedicated to the late Sun Ra.
Excellent stuff.
Recommended listening.
