Before I got this disc, I
knew nothing about drummer David Winogrond. What I do know is, like
the Sam Phipps and DJ Bonebrake discs (both also on Wondercap Records)
I reviewed earlier, this is a fine slab of jazz. Unlike the Phipps
disc, which was recorded in the early ‘80s but clearly uses
early ‘60s Coltrane as a touchstone, and unlike the mellowness
that vibraphonist Bonebrake employs, Winongrond and his band (featuring
Bonebrake and John “Rabbit” Ritchie - appearing courtesy
of the “Herman T. Blount Recovery Center” - among others)
fuse the last few decades of the sort of “out” jazz
that John Zorn and others practiced on the Lower East Side during
the ‘80s and early ‘90s with the spirit of the aforementioned
Herman T. Blount (aka Sun Ra).
