Golia, Vinny/marco Eneidi/lisa Mezzacappa/vijay Anderson
Hell-bent In The Pacific
This recording brings alto saxophonist Marco Eneidi, who has kept to himself for a long period of time, together with three West Coast players for an intense free jazz session. Eneidi's collaborators -bassist Lisa Mezzacappa, drummer Vijay Anderson, and reedman Vinny Golia- have deep connections, adding cohesion to the group. Standout tracks like 'Meteorites' and 'Everything Imaginable Can Be Dreamed' showcase powerful improvisations, with Eneidi's thick alto tone and Golia's expressive tenor leading the charge. While not consistently high-energy, the album offers compelling moments for free jazz fans, especially of Eneidi's Shattered trio.
