Album Description

SoSaLa has released a retrospective recording which looks back to 1993; when music was made at a special time and with special musicians. For fans who are interested in SoSaLa’s interesting and accomplished music career, this retrospective album is a must. 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 very distinct connection here 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 in a way that enhances 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 by the other musicians on 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.
