“The group no one wants to hear!" That's what bassist Damon Smith titled this trio, though to be fair to Mr. Smith, he said it with great reverence and humor. These master musicians Randy Hunt, Josh Allen, and Tim Orr have a long creative history. Their work strives to defy convention; their total being greater than the sum of the parts.
This session recorded on July 25, 2010 at Oakland’s New, Improved Recording studio marks the end of a four day stretch where the trio had played a number of concerts both live and on the radio that week prior to the session. Both elated and fatigued, you can almost hear a sense of desperation, a touch of sadism, and great humor in the music, complete with a commitment to the task at hand.
