Sam Gendel - Fresh Bread

Came out yesterday.  It's an anthology of recordings made from 2012-2020.  It's jazzy ambient pieces with electronics and processed saxofone.  Good shit.

I was listening to this all day yesterday. Very interesting. Kind of all over the place but in a good way. Reminds me of Jon Hassell at times.

This briefly came out first as a digital only last, happy to see it’s got a proper release. It’s great stuff, and my favorite release of his. (Satin Doll is nice too, melted Hassell-ish sax and canicular beats, but the loose loop-sketchs / soundcloud-dump-feel of this collection wins me over. I put on Alto Voices on loop more times than I dare to admit.)

Edit : Uh, I compared and last year’s version has 15 more tracks, and a different tracklist?

I'm going to dig into this guy's stuff. It's really interesting, thanks

The sax processing immediately reminds of Jon Hassell's 1980s pieces

This works great on shuffle. It's like tuning into some weird late night radio station.

Some great stuff in here, sad that it's such a short compilation

Himalayan Salt Add-On reminds me of this tune
