Tom Cabrera - The Hoax (2022)

On Sótano's current voyage pianist Bob Rodriguez joins the fray of sonic exploration and deep communication that emanates from drummer Tom Cabrera's drums, George McMullen's trombone, Jack DeSalvo's guitar and the double-bass of Phil Sirois. This music is no Hoax.
The actual first gathering the original quartet that became Sótano was captured on Connoisseurs of Chaos VII on Unseen Rain of which every track was extemporaneous. On the first album under the name Sótano, the quartet among the remarkable improvised pieces is the composition Ear Rational by Jack DeSalvo and Monk's Well You Needn't.
Sótano's The Hoax adds the prodigiously talented pianist Bob Rodriguez making it a quite potent quintet full of color and swing.
