Ben Goldberg - Subatomic Particle Homesick Blues (2013)

Recorded in two days in February, 2008, at the legendary Bay Records in Berkeley, California, but not made available until now, Goldberg's session has a loose, swinging sound on tunes ranging from the avant-swing of "Evolution" to the exuberant funeral march of "Possible" to the stark blues of Ben's arrangement of Bob Dylan's version of "Satisfied Mind." Ben writes: "Joshua Redman and I had gotten to know each other when SF Jazz presented a double bill of my trio Plays Monk and Josh's trio featuring Joe Lovano. Later I invited Josh to sit in with my quintet, and he suggested that we make a record together. Ron Miles and I are both from Denver and I had always been crazy about his playing so I invited him (this was before we recorded Go Home). I brought some new compositions and arrangements of older tunes and we had a blast."
