Swell, Steve/robert Boston/michael Vatcher
Brain In A Dish
'Brain In A Dish' is an outstanding release for fans of modern jazz and improvisation. Known for his exceptional skill on the trombone, Swell teams up with pianist/organist Robert Boston and drummer Michael Vatcher for eleven spontaneous studio tracks that showcase his mastery of the instrument. Swell's trombone soars from high-pitched wails to deep, growling lows, while Boston and Vatcher provide dynamic and unpredictable support, blending free jazz with classical touches and adventurous rhythms. Highlights include the explosive title track and the fiery 'No Heavy Perfumes,' as well as the reflective 'Trepanation Trepidation.' Recorded with top-tier clarity by Jim Clouse at Park West Studios, this album captures every nuance of Swell's expressive playing.
