foxglove076: jason ajemian "love songs invade your mind too" cd-r
jason ajemian is perhaps best known as 1/2 of the magical born heller (w/ josephine foster). ajemian also plays in a number of excellent jazz ensembles throughout chicago (like dragons 1976). but on "love songs invade your mind too," ajemian steps to the forefront and does nothing but impress. over the course of nine tracks, ajemian shows that true power of a love song. now, these aren't your typical sappy affairs, these are songs extracted from deep within ajemian's smitten soul. using little more than upright bass and voice, ajemian's stark incantations are deeply affecting. ajemian's approach here couldn't be simpler. but his talent and ability morph these pieces into something grandiose and magnificent. you don't find honesty like this anymore. 100 copies
