hey jordan, no i didn't know there was a connection so close to home.
is that cover photoshopped or is there, like, a real place that looks like that? b/c if so, must visit.

I was really slow on hearing this but I have to say this is absolutely wonderful. A real beauty.

Finally heard the new one, Blade of Love. About the same level as the last one, i.e. excellent. And woefully ignored.

seems to be getting a lot of attention for a sax quartet album!

Not in the places I frequent then; I'm glad if it has some popularity I'm completely unaware of.

plenty of reviews (incl. Pitchfork), plenty of sales on that Bandcamp page...

the Chicago Reed Quartet's Western Automatic album from last year was on a very similar tip and also excellent.

Travis is my homie, but I would think that regardless, I'm sure
speaking of woefully ignored, here's a plug for my homie Tony B@rba's new album of solo saxophone + electronics:https://tonybarba.bandcamp.com/album/winters-arms
very ambient/drone-y/pretty for the most part

saw battle trance last night with only a cursory knowledge of their music, it was a cool show

i didn't go when they were here, because i'm super lame :(
― sam jax sax jam (Jordan), Friday, 14 October 2016 15:51 (seven years ago) link
i only went bc it was very near my house and an 8:30 show with no openers. it was over by 9:40. i am also lame.

seeing them tomorrow at like midnight at the end of what might be six other shows which hardly strikes me as the best way to engage them but still kinda hyped.
