SUMMARY:Sunday\, October 21st: 6pm: DAVE SEWELSON QUARTET - FMR CD Releas
 e Set! Featuring: DAVE SEWELSON - Bari Sax STEVE SWELL - Trombone WILLIA
 M PARKER - Bass MARVIN BUGALU SMITH - Drums
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Dave Sewelson on baritone & sopranino saxes\, Steve
  Swell on trombone\, William Parker on contrabass and Marvin Bugaloo Smi
 th on drums. Veteran saxist Dave Sewelson is an early member of the Down
 town scene\, having worked with Wayne Horvitz\, Robin Holcomb and the Mi
 croscopic Septet in the early 1980’s. Mr. Sewelson is also a memb
 er of the Jessie Dulman Quartet\, whose LP was recorded right at DMG las
 t year! Actually\, all four members of the great quartet are veterans wh
 ose varied careers go back to the late seventies. The eldest member of t
 his quintet is drummer\, Marvin Bugaloo’ Smith\, who has worked S
 un Ra\, Archie Shepp and David Schnitter. The opening song is the title 
 track and it was written by Mr. Sewelson. It has a strong\, spirited\, a
 lmost prayer-light theme that rings true for the troubling times that su
 rround us. Many of us can relate to the sentiment of the title\, “
 Music for a Free Worldâ€Â\, since we do long to be free of the fascis
 m that is rising around the planet. Mr. Sewelson and Mr. Swell sound lik
 e righteous sparring partners\, combining forces\, blending their solemn
 \, slow burning voices. The longest piece here is called “Tensiana
 â€Âand starts off with some brooding\, thoughtful bass from Mr. Parke
 r. This long work is indeed intense and filled with turbulent currents w
 hich rise and fall as the currents swirl around the two horns. Last Sund
 ay (7/2918)\, trombonist Steve Swell\, played a duo here with Canadian d
 rummer Mark Segger. Even in quieter settings\, Mr. swell ed himself to b
 e a formidable improviser who kept digging deeper and coming with a weal
 th of sounds and inspired solos. There are tow songs which were written 
 by both frontline horn men. These are actually duo pieces which are laid
  back yet a sly\, somewhat funky\, organic spirit\, kinda like a a warm 
 conversation. The quartet together make a strong impression\, a solid fo
 rce\, they capture some age old vibes\, united in the right ways. A toas
 t to these fabulous veterans! - CD review by Bruce Lee Gallanter\, Downt
