Dickie Landry 4 Cuts Placed In "A First Quarter" Vinyl LP 2022

1. Requiem for Some
2. 4th Register
3. Piece for So
4. Vivace Duo

The set features one solo each by Landry and contrabassist Rusty Gilder, a duo for the tenor saxophones of Landry and Richard Peck, and an ensemble piece for Landry, Peck, Gilder, trumpeter Robert Prado, and drummer David Lee, Jr. Starting the record off is 'Requiem for Some', inspired by Gil Evans' long, placid tones. The anchor is Lee's dry cymbal attack and fancy footwork, dancing around overlapping and recombining horns, chords held just shy of splintering. '4th Register' is a grainy delayed solo tenor piece, presaging 'Kitchen Solos' from 'Fifteen Saxophones' by several years.
