Leave Another Day

The Blind Sublime
Andrew Ostler’s fifth album for the Expert Sleepers label continues his trajectory away from a sound largely based on synthesizers towards orchestral textures and heavily processed saxophone. Building on the string arrangements of his previous LP “Dots on a Disk of Snow”, and taking a heavy dose of sax drone from the earlier “Four Drones for Saxophone and Modular Synthesizer”, this record also adds a full choir, taking the music to another level of spiritual intensity.
The first side of the LP p…
Misterioso
Back in the mid 80's, Paul Motian, one of the greatest jazz drummers of all times, assembled one of the most inventive groups of the decade. Motian invited four highly individual players such as Joe Lovano and Jim Pepper on tenor sax, Bill Frisell on electric guitar and Ed Schuller on bass, and the result was a unique sound in perfect balance between post-Ornette free-bop and a new and spacier form of interplay. First released in 1987 "Misterioso" stands as a stunning example of modern jazz!

Homemade Ivory Dreams
100 copies. The title is a description of what I do - making music in the home studio on a keyboard (real and virtual), reflecting some kind of dream world. The phrase Homemade Ivory Dreams - references ivory that often describes a piano keyboard (being tickled). From a review in Classical Ear (UK):It carries itself with all the vivid – and here often hallucinogenic – intensity typical of Roger Doyle’s work. Structure and detail, rhythmic propulsion, tonal variation and textural intricacy all re…
