about

What better album to release for our 100th release in our 5th year here at Astral Spirits. A long time coming, we're incredibly proud to finally present to you the debut release from the trio of SUSAN ALCORN, JOE McPHEE & KEN VANDERMARK. Poem below by Joe McPhee.

LESS THAN ZERO

Clouded reflections
Broken dreams
Nightmare creatures
Flying

How could this happen
What does it mean
Empty echoes
Fading

Tomorrow yes
Tomorrow no
Do we stay
Or
Do we go

Tomorrow yes
Tomorrow no
Do we stay
Or
Do we go

Touch the sun rise
Taste the night
Feel the children
Crying

Dusty. Photos
Fields of grass
With precious flowers
Dying

Tomorrow yes
Tomorrow no
Do we stay
Or
Do we go

Tomorrow yes
Tomorrow no
Do we stay
Or
Do we go

So happy to see a new album from this band. I've long been a fan of Mazurek and Parker's work in Tortoise, on top of the CUQ... Anyhow, if you're curious about contemporary jazz, this is a terrific place to start. Hobie Anthony
