Har Sedhono Quartet - Close to You - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Code Quartet / GENEOLOGY - Code Quartet is comprised of Christine Jensen on saxophones, Lex French on trumpet, Adrian Vedady on acoustic bass and Jim Doxas on drums. Citing themselves as grown out of a jazz genealogy, they came together with the equal goal of composing and improvising in a cordless quartet setting. The quartet draws on composers from Fletcher Henderson to Paul Bley, Charlie Haden, Ornette Coleman, and beyond. The compositions are inspired by visual art, poetry, the environment, politics, and social movements. JUSTIN TIME RECORDS

Ashby appeared on the scene as if by magic when Jimmy Hamilton retired from the Ellington Orchestra in 1968 - he was in his 40s and had been around for years but much of his early discography was with rhythm-and-blues bands. He went on his own after Duke's death and made European tours with all-star packages. This was his first session as leader for a US-based tag, and he takes good advantage of the opportunity.
