{"product_id":"pass-if-music","title":"Pass If Music","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt’s hard to tell on first listen, but the L.A.-based Gendel made every sound on his new album using his alto saxophone. \u003ci\u003ePass If Music\u003c\/i\u003e is hardly a solo jazz album, though. Rather, the musician harnesses his horn in service of ambient tones and experimental works that reside outside genre distinctions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“East L.A. Haze Dream” floats like an amorphous cloud of vapor as Gendel layers gently blown notes with the occasional brief sax run. “Trudge” is a darkened mantra featuring lower-register hums and a minimal rhythm that marches with determination. In notes, the artist writes that it and the other eight pieces were inspired by the motion picture “The Labyrinth \u0026amp; the Long Road,” [directed by Daniel Oh] for which Gendel contributed the score, and that makes sense. It’s an atmospheric work that evokes its own brand of drama.
