From a July 2004 session, "Is It Sweet" is a classic Bill Frisell piece that features a really cool "drunken" feel in the groove and some folky- country-blues tones.
Again, I'm offering a tune we played out of the love of playing. There are no edits or overdubs here. Is It Sweet? I think so…This offering is the sixth in an on-going series of “Forgotten Music“ that has been rediscovered after years of languishing on a hard drive. This music was never intended for release, but after sitting all this time, has been considered worthy, at least, to share. it may be that a “Forgotten Album” will emerge.
Recorded in July 2004. Atmos Trio wasn’t even recording an album–just sight-reading some charts.This is another beautiful Peter Sprague tune we used to play during our Monday morning jam sessions.
This song is something of a rarity in that it does not feature solos but instead, features the composition itself as the main character in this particular music tale.
Features Rob Michael on guitars, Joe Shotwell on bass and Jeff Obee on bass.
The Atmos Trio first started out as an excuse to play in a very conversational way. We were (and still are) seeking a musical discussion that required no words. We were out to explore group improvisation but hopefully present it in such a way that it almost sounded composed.
For a time, our method of operation was to converge on my studio each Monday morning, throw up some mics, hit RECORD and just play. Here is a result of one of those session from July 2004. Never intended for release, this recording of Solar really was a happy accident which was captured to disk. We played it and moved-on. Only during a later review of the session did we realize the level of musical interactivity that had apparently occurred earlier that day. Here is your invitation to eavesdrop on our conversation. Solar by AtmosTrioContinuing my efforts to liberate hard drive space is unearthing several forgotten little musical treasures.
Searching the audio archives here in the studio, found this Horace Silver masterpiece that the Atmos Trio played Live in 2005.
Hope you dig it. Lonely Woman by AtmosTrioAdd widgets to this sidebar in the Widgets panel under Appearance in the WordPress Admin.
