![Geof Bradfield - General Semantics - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/41279de0-f29f-4ff0-8af0-fec8f6c53a64.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
The collaborative trio of Ben Goldberg (clarinet, contra alto clarinet), Geof Bradfield (soprano and tenor saxophones, bass clarinet) and Dana Hall (percussion) explores new directions on General Semantics. Their Delmark Records debut features original music by the trio as well as unique interpretations of Duke Ellington, Cecil Taylor, and Hermeto Pascoal. The unusual instrumentation-especially the lack of a bassist- enables the musicians to transcend traditional instrument roles of accompaniment, improvisation, and interaction and create music that embraces form and harmony alongside freedom and spontaneous improvisation.
