Breaking Stretch

by Patricia Brennan (Pyroclastic Records)

supported by

juliok This still hits hard after nearly a year of listening. Fantastic in so many ways

Giles Wonderful tunes, monster playing by the whole band, and a super-fresh sound to the whole album. I love how the horn arrangements often sound like alien hyperspace Latin horn section riffs and the way the solo sections flow in and out of each other. Enormous fun AND incredibly innovative at the same time is a rare combo!!

About Ghosts
by Mary Halvorson

supported by 146 fans who also own “Breaking Stretch”

It seems the brass section is blooming more and more in Mary Halvorson's music. And you can feel the ghosts are really inside the music. It seems smart and loose at the same time. My real entry into Halvorson's profound scores. And from now being forever under the spell of the vibraphone. . Bertrand Redon

There's a smile of something good something very good. Coming. Maybe not Don't over think it Just let it be in you for the time that you're willing to give maybe long enough to let the baseline wrap itself all around that very thought and then a well placed A Minor and a briush that lightly ticks plays ... pounces ... Listen all you w (scary) ant. Just try and eat dinner Scat! and just be grateful you got a bit of this hip gab to dab your gaze magoski
