IMPROVIJAZZATION
NATION #16, Spring 1995
Now, this lil' gem comes outta'
th' BACK o' th' cassette rack... (Dan's prob'ly gonna' KILL me...
can't remember HOW long ago he sent this to me, but it should've
been reviewed at least two issues back, I'm sure). Those who have
stayed with "I.N." for the last couple of years will remember
that I've reviewed MANY styles of music that Dan's done or been
associated with (back issues still available, just e-mail me, ok?)
& that I believe he STANDS for what D.I.Y. is all about. Clean,
well-recorded (I didn't say S-L-I-C-K) music that proves the "volkz"
can DO IT! As he notes on th' liner - "recorded at home on
4 Track"... & if that ain't D.I.Y., Zzaj'll eat his shorts!
A VERY interesting blend of 60's folk & "stratocast"
guitarz, phsychedelic in tone, virtually EVERYthing done by Dan
himself. Production this time 'round is T-O-P-S! If yer' HIDEBOUND
improv, in th' sense of needin' s-p-a-r-s-e music, some o' Dan's
other tapes can provide that as well; in FACT, this tape HAS a sense
of the ethereal that Dan's often SO good at conveying, tho' it has
stronger leanings toward the "folk" side on this outing!
Very pleasant ride & comes STRONGLY recommended from Zzaj!—Rotcod
