Sean Callery borrowed heavily from Art Ensemble of Chicago’s Full Force and Lester Bowie’s trumpet licks. Very heavily.
Actually, this sounds a lot like “Early Minor” by Miles Davis (from The Complete In A Silent Way).
One of the most evocative themes ever. Wonderful intro to a brilliant series
I am going to create an electronic track inspired by this music love the disembodied vocal snippets
