Nathan Hanson & Chris Bates- Weights and Measures (CD)
After three decades of playing together, saxophonist Nathan Hanson and bassist Chris Bates release their first record. Recorded in a 100 year old church, the improvised compositions were largely inspired by the writings of John Nystrom who proposed a new system of weights, arithmetic, music notation and timekeeping in the 19th Century. Weights and Measures is a document that quantifies a response to the losses and the blessings, and the disorientation of the moment.
Tracklist:
- Plasticity
- Valuate, Reckon
- Pit Oneself Against
- I Know That I Have Nature On My Side
- The Eighth of Suvenary
- One Turn of the Dial
- Hymn of Blessing and Loss (For Dennis Gonzalez)
- Not the Whole Story
