about

This was performed after producer Brownman Ali gave Maclean a collection of seemingly random chords and told him to improvise. Maclean soon uncovered that the professedly arbitrary harmony was in actual fact loosely based on the changes of a well known jazz classic. What has resulted is a thoughtful and lyrical trip through moving chords, rippling textures, and pointillistic blues abstractions which eventually gives way to a deconstruction of Charles Mingus’s Goodbye Porkpie Hat, soaked in the waters of the Ellington-Monk-Mingus-Cecil Taylor continuum.
