to my left is where the lake is (2020)

released September 25, 2020 (Creative Sources Recordings)

Sam Gill - alto and soprano saxophones
Joseph Franklin - contrabass guitar

To My Left Is Where the Lake Is features seven improvisations recorded over the course of an afternoon in November 2019. The music finds the pair in inspired form, conjuring free-flowing performances that move between rapid call-and-response exchanges, textural drones and relaxed melodic invention.

“Exhibiting master control of their instruments, Franklin and Gill choose a mood and venture into musical explorations sometimes of considerable beauty.”—loudmouth
