It's the time of the year when I wish I could just spend the next seven months listening to the music that's already been released in 2024 because SO MUCH of it is top notch killer shit and I don't want it to be forgotten.
On this colorful and kaleidophonic new solo album Latrala, Kenny Wollesen showcases his considerable compositional skill, inventive mallet-instrument chops by way of introducing a brand new crackerjack quintet featuring Nasheet Waits on drums Tony Scherr on guitar, Christopher Thomas on bass & Michael Coleman on synths.
