"Suite for the End of the Earth"
Due out on July 13th, 2018
“Suite for the End of the Earth” from The Oddyssey Quartet featuring Bill Folwell on bass (Alberty Ayler Quintet), David Pate on horns (Sam Rivers Rivbea Orchestra), and Jose Cochez on drums and percussion (Kelp). The group plays in a style inspired by Albert Ayler, with a liberal reading of seven new compositions from Rex Shepherd that are used as springboards for free improvisations. This recording is dedicated to Alberty Ayler and also is a musical narrative of a sci-fi story (go to the Oddyssey Quartet page on this site for more).
