Attic
Love Ghosts
The Attic strikes again, this time with a wonderfully lyrical album. All compositions by Rodrigo Amado on tenor saxophone, Goncalo Almeida on double bass, Onno Govaert on drums, recorded by Joaquim Monte at Namouche Studios, Lisbon, in January 2020. The tradition of John Coltane and David S. Ware lives, and lives in an amazing manner! Rodrigo is in an incredible disposition, and Gonçalo and Onno provide extraterrestrial support. The trio plays 4 middle length tracks. They start with 'New Tone,' a kind of free bop tune. Followed by 'Encounter,' a ballad of infinite beauty and emotional content. It is slow and lyrical, but has also a very expressive parts. The 16 minutes long title track is even more lyrical and ballad-like. Overall a volcanic free jazz explosion of the trio. Finally, 'Outer Fields' features a wonderful bass intro, and beautiful hymn like theme.
