Keefe Jackson’s Likely So – A Round Goal

Description

Keefe Jackson’s Likely So – A Round Goal
Delmark DE 5009
Compact Disc (2013)

The music of Keefe Jackson’s all-reed group Likely So is both a new direction and a continuation of his abiding mission: combining composition and improvisation with an emphasis on the interaction of the individual musicians. On A Round Goal, this leads to an exploration of sound-areas including the textural, the melodic, and the instinctual. Mars Williams, Wacław Zimpel, Jackson, Marc Stucki, Dave Rempis, Peter A. Schmid, and Thomas K.J. Mejer play the entire range of saxophones (from sopranino to contrabass) and clarinets. This album is a live set recorded at the Jazzwerkstatt Festival in Bern, Switzerland.
