Fantasy and Nocturne
from Slay the Suitors by Bobby Previte
-
CD
Compact Disc (CD) + Digital AlbumStill owing Gramavison a recording, Previte joined forces again with his Empty Suits band and recorded a work that was so different from the previous Empty Suits record (big surprise) that Gramavision refused to release it. This prompted his departure from the label. Eventually coming out in 1994 on DIW/Japan, “Slay the Suitors,” (title courtesy of a chapter in Homer’s “Odyssey”) is in many ways his “underground” record, perhaps the most obscure of them all, if you don’t count “Pull To Open.” A hazy, sometimes quiet, very electronic outing (confirming Previte’s fascination with electronic music in earnest) this CD is imported and extremely rare. Downbeat said, “Previte introduces a brilliant device: a reverberating Hammond chord that backs the soloists for an entire five and a half minute segment. The tension produced by that act alone is a study in seduction.” Try, just try and find this record.
Includes unlimited streaming of Slay the Suitors via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.Sold Out

Brazen Heart Live at Jazz Standard - Complete
by Dave Douglas Quintet 2015supported by 29 fans who also own “Fantasy and Nocturne”
Yes,yes,yes! I've been waiting for Dave to do this again...two brilliant runs by DDQ and Keystone were documented on Greenleaf back in the day; they were groundbreaking...recorded and released within 24 hours for each set...they were stellar performances and I play them again and again. With absolutely no chance of ever being there, this is the closest i'll ever be to 'being there'...so excited I may need to lay down in a darkened room for a while!
