Chris Dahlgren: Cherubs Contemplating Tacky Bass Figurines In Heaven

This sublime track from bassist Chris Dahlgren is really a quasi-classical chamber miniature given the meterless/free treatment by some great jazz-minded musicians. And while the buzz-bassed, noise-meditative mid-section may be enough to throw off a few less-than-committed passengers, it also may be the perfect—if unlikely—foil that turns the whole 9+ minutes into something transcendent. Featuring Tim Ries, Ben Monder and Kenny Wollesen.
