alocispepraluger102 Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) i just heard a new, to me, saxophonist, andy laster. his thing seems to be a very adventurous, but very elegant chamber jazz. most of that type of music quickly falls flat with me, but this guy seems much more interesting, with a lovely lovely tone. does anyone know anything about andy?

Joe Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Have not spun them in a while, but my memories of both POLYOGUE (Songlines, 1997) and SOFT SHELL (Knitting Factory, 2000) -- both with the always-colorful Herb Robertson, Drew Gres and Tom Rainey -- are warm. What has Laster been up to lately? Edited January 12, 2010 by Joe Quote

What has Laster been up to lately? i heard a very nice thing on wnur from him on cleanfeed with cello. cleanfeed has a decent website. i just might order it if they download. Quote
Alexander Hawkins Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 I'm not really familiar with much of his music, but I will vouch for Harris Eisenstadt's fantastic album Jalolu, where Laster sounds great. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 I haven't yet heard Jalolu, but it sounds interesting. Quote
Alexander Hawkins Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 Really interesting companion to Guewel, for sure! Quote
