BaRcoDe

"Whether tackling the music of Charles Ives, indulging in chamber jazz or electronic experimentation or blowing with a quartet at the Village Vanguard, the visionary saxophonist-composer never fails to swing for the fences on his ambitious recording projects. This one is a grand slam. By placing his authoritative tenor in the unusual setting of four vibraphonists/marimbists (Joel Ross, Simon Moullier, Patricia Brennan and Venezuelan-born Juan Diego Villalobos) sans rhythm section, the Canadian-born cofounder of the shape-shifting group Kneebody takes a proudly unorthodox stance on BaRcoDe".
