Lost Tribe: Vevasis

By

Sign in to view read count
From the band's final release Many Lifetimes (Arabesque, 1998), "Vevasis" is a marvel of impressionistic, stream-of-consciousness jazz construtionalism from the pen of saxophonist David Binney that may have arguably left compositional signposts for forward-thinking bands to come. Ben Perowsky's inspiring drum work is icing on this one-of-a-kind cake.
