"New Crusaders" Dream #7

This was sent to me by George Parsons from Dream Magazine. Appeared in issue #7.

Anvil Salute "New Crusaders of the 11th Commandment" (Maritime Fist Glee Club) This is my favorite release yet by this improvisational sextet from Norman, Oklahoma. A beautifully mesmerizing mix of mantra, acoustic folk, jazz, tribal, trance, chamber music, and lullabies. They present eight mostly instrumental tracks, except for a rendition of Sugar Baby based on Dock Boggs’ version. A circle of strumming and percussion allows a sax to float, dart and weave above them like an errant moth attracted to the campfire light. Gently repeating motifs lull the listener into a light dream state. I hear willow trees and cattails in the background.
