I’m very happy to share 3 new releases with everyone today. Starting with Tatsuya Yoshida and Martín Escalante - The Sound of Raspberrie. LP and DL now available for preorder on Wash and Wear’s bandcamp page. Links in bio.
Plus Charlie Mumma, Teté Leguía and Martín Escalante present This Molten Salt CD and DL.
And finally my first solos CD ever, Martín Escalante - Playing Harsh Noise on the Saxophone Since 2012.
I’ll end with a few comments about these albums from musician friends that I deeply respect and admire:
On the LP:
“This is what we NEED! In these confused, populistic and fascist times — this is the JAZZ we need! URGENT! DEDICATED! RADICAL! Unique-face-peeling-cutting- edge- and- totally-in-your-face-MF! This is ALL we need for a better living! Think… Borbetomagus, John Zorn, TG, Masami Akita, Hanatarash… this is IT and yet, not at all alike!” -Mats Gustafsson
“Absolutely blistering duo album. The sax sounds like it’s laser-cutting its way through the atmosphere while the drums expand and contract the time/space around the sax. Hit after hit///make your head spin.” -Chris Corsano
On me solo:
“Desperate death throes roaring from a man playing the saxophone with more agony than anyone has ever seen before.” -Toshiji Mikawa
“A gem, a badass. One of the most talented saxophone players I have ever met.” -Otomo Yoshihide
