It’s time to stop what you’re doing and immerse yourself with the legendary New York based trumpeter Mac Gollehon as today, we’re elated to bring you his latest video for Dead Protégé. The track is a near five-minute potent mix of experimental free jazz and blues and the sixth cut from his latest solo album The End Is The Beginning that’s out now through Nefarious Industries.
The video, which was filmed in and around NYC by famed photographer Michael Baumann and to quote Reza from his recent review that ‘Dead Protégé has a mournful contemplative blues like quality that had me yearning to crank out my Muddy Waters and Howling Wolf records’ then added that the album is ‘a beautifully madcap clash of demented free jazz and warped electronica’
