Big Comet Headed For Earth : Jack West & Curvature

© Ahead Behind Music 1998

This is the second release from Jack West and Curvature. It features: Jack West--acoustic guitar, Calder Spanier--alto and soprano saxophone, Joel Davel--marimba and percussion, and Ricky Carter--percussion. The concept of this album was to capture the live sound of the Curvature quartet in a studio setting. Most of the tunes were recorded live at Ahead Behind Studio with no overdubs.

Many Curvature fans consider the writing and performances on this record to be extraordinary. The album is dedicated to the late Calder Spanier who died in a car accident on Dec.4, 1997. It includes his last recorded performance on saxophone.

List Price: $16.99
