Post-Deconstruction is the second meeting of my group and the great Italian trombonist Giancarlo Schiaffini (a follow-up to our Deconstruction CD a few years earlier). For this session the trio with Steve Zerlin and Leland Nakamura was augmented to include the brilliant reedist Jesse Meman (Windmill Saxophone Quartet), who brings equal parts down-home and outer limits. On one of the two nights of recording from which these tracks were selected, the group was further enlarged to include noted Baltimore avant-garde bassist Vattel Cherry (Charles Gayle, Cecil Taylor). The five extended cuts on this CD include Giancarlo's riff on Monk, "Wednesday the 17th," and his deconstruction of Autumn Leaves, "Come Se Fosse Autunno" (As If It Were Autumn). Jesse contributes the blues head mash-up "Everyman's Blues," and the band freely jams on "St. James Infirmary." And check out the double-double bases on the album closer "Plain Folk!" Sadly, the landmark One Step Down would close a few months later. This CD was released on Cadence Jazz Records in 2002 and is packaged in a standard jewel case with a four-page booklet. Total run-time is 72 minutes.
