From todays freshly ripped @ Emusic:
- More @"First ever CD and limited edition LP* reissue of this little known classic from founding Philip Glass Ensemble member Richard Dickie Landry. Following two jazz LPs issued on the Chatham Square label (which he co-ran), Dickie Landry released Fifteen Saxophones, a set of 1974 recordings done with engineer Kurt Munkacsi, on the Northern Lights and Wergo labels in 1978. Fifteen Saxophones simultaneously demonstrates Landrys boundary-pushing saxophone and his understanding of the minimalists long-form treatises on sound. Using intricate Revox tape delays on Fifteen Saxophones, Alto Flute Quad Delay and the side-long live document Kitchen Solos, Landrys strong personality as a player shines through a brilliant wall of sound. It is unsurprising Landry was a fixture in the same New York scene that spawned artists like Richard Serra something equally monumental exists in the pieces found on this album."
