Epic Jammers and Fortunate Little Ditties is simple
and stark and empyrean and inspirational...and
pretty modal, too - probably never more than three
chords! - as Bonny and the Bajas pursue the life
of the spirit down ever-fading vapor trails, in a bottomless
(and topless - let 'em loose!) space.
Epic Jammers and Fortunate Little Ditties contains
moments of tranquility and trance, with the
players integrating their separate ways, vibing off
each other, making songs together. Bonny is at his
spirit-melting celestial best wandering through a
lifetime of fortunes that amount, when incanted,
to a prayer to the god of many names. The Bajas'
access to the universal aural paintbox is unparalleled;
their reach is deep. And it all went down onto a
2-track reel-to-reel in primitive left-right seps that
helped to define their ability to finish it in mixing.
These WERE jams, with whatever preparation, gear,
thought and cords - vocal and electric - backgrounded,
in support of intuition and what existed
AT THE MOMENT.
