Song for My Sister is the Note FactoryÆs first release since
1999Æs Nine to Get Ready. Recorded February of 2002 in RoscoeÆs
home of Madison, WI, the lineup has changed with the addition
of Corey Wilkes, Vijay Iyer, Vincent Davis, and Leon Dorsey.
The CDs nine tracks, all new compositions, cover a lot of
ground. The band sound has been more fully realized with time
and the addition of new members. Roscoe has written one of the
most memorable hard-bop tunes in recent years and placed it
along side; contemporary classical, open improvisations,
notated card pieces and music that can only be described as
uniquely Roscoe. On ôWind Changeö the band is augmented by
clarinet, bassoon, violin, and viola, furthering the idea of
the band as a classical improvising orchestra. With all of the
variety that exists within RoscoeÆs writing, it can come as a
surprise when it is all encompassed on a CD and still the
continuity of the music is seamless. It is a reflection of how
successfully Roscoe bridges stylistic differences in music with
his writing. With their new release the Note Factory carve out
a place for themselves in the catalog of RoscoeÆs music as
group to continue to watch develop over time. No small feat
considering the company that they keep.
