I don’t know why I keep coming back to this album. For some reason, I am drawn to it. The low baritones bouncing off the sweet sopranos as the simple bass drum speeds up until cardiac arrest. There has never been a piece of music, that I know of, that sounds like this. Don’t let the title, Moondog and the London Saxophonic’s “Sax Pax For A Sax” scare you — it’s the simplicity that is so compelling. (And, on the few pieces that have ’em, the very odd lyrics.) I wrote a piece when Louis Hardin died that has been syndicated quite a bit on the web. You can read it by clicking here. And if you haven’t heard this music, hunt it down.
