Perhaps currently better known for his long-standing gig with singer/songwriter Ani DiFranco and his recent TONY/GRAMMY-winning work on the Broadway musical "Hadestown," Todd Sickafoose's third album, Tiny Resistors (Cryptogramophone, 2008) is something that should not be left to fly under the radar. As its opener "Future Flora" shows, the album displays Sickafoose's unique ability as a bassist/composer/bandleader to blend and develop simple, melodic motifs into fascinating and memorable pieces that afford plenty of legroom for his smartly-populated ensembles.
