about

This is the first album by Vinnie Sperrazza Apocryphal, and it's the first album featuring exclusively Vinnie Sperrazza songs. Guitarist Brandon Seabrook, alto saxophonist Loren Stillman, bassist Eivind Opsvik made the music come to life, and producer Geoff Kraly made the record come to life. Widely praised (Downbeat, The New Yorker, the Village Voice, the New York City Jazz Record, and All About Jazz) Apocryphal laid the foundation for Sperrazza's evolving musical conception, and gave the ensemble a name.

Métatonal
by Marc Ducret Trio+3

supported by 7 fans who also own “Apocryphal”

A year or so ago I downloaded a Big Satan concert on a torrent site. Under the band credits it read "Marc Ducret: Awesomeness." That pretty much sums him up for me. A fabulous sextet release here, with his regular trio augmented by sax, trumpet and trombone. The latter is played by his regular sparring partner Samuel Blaser. Excellent release from an excellent label! binomess
