about

SUMARI IV is the group's first studio album featuring the miraculous double-bassist Hilliard Greene. This is also Sumari's first studio album recorded and mixed after the passing of engineer Jim DeSalvo, who was responsible for documenting their previous work. SUMARI IV's commanding music, mixing the utmost in simplicity with taut, intricate layers of rhythm, appears here through the virtuosity of the musicians alone, eschewing overdubs and effects heard on Sumari II and III. There are moments when a bell-like rhythm appears and one wonders if is it Hill Greene playing harmonics, the bell of Tom Cabrera's ride cymbal, Matt Lavelle's swallowed alto clarinet outcry or Jack DeSalvo's tintabulistic guitar and banjo pluckings, which is to say the players' musical consciousness merged during the many moments of coalescence. This an album of ancient dances and future visions.

i remember ras from the nights of hanging out on the jazz corner message boards, and was glad to find him on facebook. he does lots of great videos of him playing, as well as photos of his beautiful looking collection of rare free jazz LPs. when his birthday rolled around this year, i realized i needed to own some of his music. so i picked this album because i love flute, bass clarinet, and frame drum. a highly recommended chapter of his extensive discography! cloudrecordings
