The Revolutionary Snake Ensemble is Ken Field's project.
The brand-new "Serpentine" album features:
- Ken Field : alto saxophone & flute
- Tom Hall : tenor saxophone
- Dave Harris : trombone & tuba
- Phil Neighbors : drums
- Blake Newman : acoustic bass
- Jerry Sabatini : trumpet
I had to be told, but the attentive reader will of course see that there are no instruments that can play chords. Accept for the acoustic bass, maybe.
This does, of course, create a different musical balance, with a focus on the horns and how they interact.
The result is impressive.
As an additional treat, the ensemble also recorded Frank Zappa's 'Son Of Mr. Green Genes'.
Beautiful.
My CD copy has been ordered but I'm glad that I can already enjoy the digital download / streaming version.
