USA: Sam Gendel-Satin Doll (2020)


 Recorded in Gendel’s native California, the album features three musicians—Gendel on saxophone, Gabe Noel on electric bass, and Philippe Melanson on electronic percussion—engaging in simultaneous synchronized sonic construction/destruction of well-known jazz standards, including Miles Davis’ “Freddie Freeloader,” Charles Mingus’ “Goodbye Porkpie Hat,” and Duke Ellington’s “Satin Doll.”
