Joey Cavaseno- Portrait of the Beast (1992)
Joey Cavaseno- Portrait of the Beast (1992)

Joey "G-Clef Cavaseno has had a storied career in jazz music, as well as a parallel career in the hip-hop and alternative music universe, under the moniker G-Clef da Mad Komposa. Around the time of this recording, in the early 1990s, Cavaseno's quintet was playing various intimate jazz performances around the tri-state New York area. In late January of 1992, at Michael Brorby's Acoustic Recording studio in Brooklyn, an albums worth of music was recorded. This music has never seen the light of day until now, as Cavaseno recently uncovered old DAT tapes, digitally converted and then remastered using the latest technology, as of 2023. Featured alongside a 24 year old Cavaseno on this recording are none less than the very top shelf of what mainstream jazz had to offer back then, such as 20 year old William Ash on guitar, 20 year old Ari Roland on bass, Rob Bargad on piano, and Fukuski Tainaka on drums.

In order to ship your records to you in the safest way possible, and to avoid seam splits, we recommend removing the record from the jacket when shipping. That said, we will never open sealed records and do this without your permission. If you would like your records shipped to you this way, please add this product to your cart.

We will place your jacket and record inside a FREE protective poly.
