Daniel Carter-Patrick Holmes-Matthew Putman-Hilliard Greene-Federico Ughi: Electric Telepathy Volume 1

Daniel Carter plays saxes, clarinet and trumpet, Partick Holmes is on clarinet, Matthew Putman hits the keys, Hilliard Greene plucks and bows the bass with Federico Ughi holding things down on drums for these five songs produced by Stelios Mihas. Four of the pieces are concise at 2-6 minutes; the sole exception is the 19 minute excursion that has dark effects, rumbling rhythms, bowed excursions and crying reeds that lurk in the bramble bushes. Green and Ughi have an arm wrestling match, loosely watched by Putman on the freebopping “Horticultural Techniques” with Carter’s pungent horn, while a more tentative brass sing songs to the rocking “Ease Tease.” Sighing horns gasp for air on “Lust Call” and high pitched keyboards hover on  “Ghost Watch.” Is there a transcription to this?
