Paul Dunmall - Tribute to John Coltrane at Cafe OTO

About

Paul Dunmall's massive sound on saxophone and melodic sensibility has always demonstrated the influence of John Coltrane on his playing and he makes this debt even more explicit in this duo with drummer Tony Bianco whose own rolling, polyrhythmic excursions and free-time explorations are descended from both Elvin Jones and Rashied Ali. The pair's recent recording of thanks to John Coltrane mines the melodic and hypnotic possibilities of the interstellar space format to fantastic effect and having them present it here is certainly something to look forward to.
