From Bagatellen:

Giuseppi Logan – Quartet (ESP-Disk’)
Until resurfacing with the aid of Brooklyn pastor Dr. Bill Jones, reedman Giuseppi Logan was, like Henry Grimes, one of the lost enigmas of contemporary improvisation.

Recently, tenorman Kalaparusha employed Jesse Dulman in his trio with drummer Ravish Momin. Tubaist Ben Stapp recorded with Lisbon-based […]
