GOLD SPARKLE BAND - FUGUES & FLOWERS (CD)

"There's a palpable sense of adventure at play over the course of the four magnificent pieces on Fugues and Flowers, recorded at various venues during the Gold Sparkle Band's tour of the Midwest in the late spring of 2000. The music highlights the essence of GSB's powerful collective concert explorations, updating the ancient fugue form with ultra-contemporary jazz comprovisational melody. This is the band's fourth full length album, and follows up 2000's Squealer release Nu*Soul Zodiac." (label info)
