Product Description

Jon Raskin, a founding member of the ROVA Saxophone Quartet, has assembled a crack team of musicians to realize his unusual graphic scores. The group features percussionist Gino Robair (Tom Waits/Anthony Braxton), trumpeter Liz Allbee (Le Flange du Mal/Neung Phak), and bassist George Cremaschi. At times, the music is delicate and spare, reminiscent of the work of John Cage and Morton Feldman. But it occasionally catches fire and gets into a free-jazz zone. Raskin's unit scores are based on photos of leaves, branches, and other organic material, each of which suggests non-traditional ways of making music.
