Album Description

In 2023, SoSaLa released a retrospective recording that looks back to 1993, when music was made at a special time and with special musicians. This retrospective album is a must for fans interested in SoSaLa’s interesting and accomplished music career. The music on this album comes from the No Wave and post-No Wave scenes in New York and out of the free jazz scene. There is a distinct connection between harmolodics and bands such as Live Skull, John Lurie and the Lounge Lizards, and James Chance and the Contortions. On this album, SoSaLa seamlessly blends Harmolodic Free-Jazz and No-Wave rock to enhance every element the music draws on. The succinct song structures provide a perfect foil for his masterful improvisations on the soprano saxophone and flute (not to mention his work on the organ). The contributions of the other musicians in the sessions bring unique dimensions and startling voices to enhance an already compelling and potent mix. The music sits well with rock and jazz and, at the same time, transcends both.
