Ben LaMar Gay's de facto debut album was our attempt to introduce the legendary Chicago composer/improvisor/renaissance man to the rest of the world with a compilation of tracks from '7 albums he made over 7 years but never made the effort to actually release'. The material showcases Gay's penchant for genre-hopping-from Reich-ian soundscape voyages to Don Cherry-esque polyrhythm treks to Jorge Ben-style vocal-and-string earworms-while keeping his singular musical voice in focus.
