Momentary Quintet - The Spectral Mountain (August 2021 Inkbeak Records)

The Spectral Mountain is the result of a two-day recording session curated by West Peoria, Illinois Bass Guitarist, Lowell Levene-Sims.

Participants from Albuquerque, Saint Louis, Chicago and Kissimmee (many who had never met nor played together) gathered at Flat Black Studios in rural Lone Tree, Iowa to make a record with no point of reference other than free improvisation.

With just a head nod or a finger point,(along with deeply sympathetic ears) these songs materialized.

As a certain individual stated "It sounds like a particularly zonked out 70's ECM record"

Why not?

Enjoy.
