about

Perigee (Curio Records) is the fourth release in the Metal and Wood project, a series of live improvisations between Chicago woodwind artist Hunter Diamond and various drummers living in the United States. Captured in different locations in Chicago and New Orleans, these recordings document Diamond’s ongoing interest in the saxophone-drums duo pairing made historic by legendary collaborations between John Coltrane & Rashied Ali, Archie Shepp & Max Roach, Dewey Redman & Ed Blackwell, Charles Lloyd & Billy Higgins, Joe McPhee & Hamid Drake, and many others. While taking guidance from these elders, Diamond contributes to the current state of Chicago creative music in his own way with this project.

On Perigee, Diamond and Gillan unfurl a collection of transcendental folk narratives in their addition to the legacy of freely improvised saxophone and drum duos. Deep melodic and textural meditations unfold during a pre-pandemic live performance at Chicago's beloved house of creative work, Elastic Arts Foundation. Through close connective listening the duo swerve nimbly between metered groove and non-pulsed sound canvases. This document shows the influence of earth-bound reed/drum duos like Lloyd/Higgins and McPhee/Drake as opposed to the more stratospheric reachings Coltrane/Ali or Redman/Blackwell. Diamond's diverse contributions as a multi-instrumentalist sound artist in the current Chicago Creative Music community continue beautifully with this release.
