The So-Called Jazz Sextet

From deep in the woods of Vermont come a hearty band of musical explorers. who infuse the influences of sixties Miles, Steve Lacy, Sun Ra, Herbie Nichols and the Art Ensemble with a lovely sense of tranquility. Surprising skill and intensity, and a crackling arrangement of Leonard Bernstein's "America," from West Side Story.
