Alain Mallet - Mutt Slang (2017)

Alain Mallet's Mutt Slang is what you get when diverse and distant musical cultures mesh into one unique language.

Layth Sidiq on violin, Daniel Rotem on Saxophone (Larry Klein), Abe Rounds on drums (Mishell N'dege Ocello), Peter Slavov (Joe Lovano) Tali Rubinstein, and many others. The music flows through a maze of diverse traditions to culminate in a sound that is sure to take you on a marvelous journey.
