1997 release ** "The Vinny Golia quintet on this CD is comprised of Golia on every woodwind known to man although he seems to prefer the extremes of range (e.g., piccolo, sopranino and contrabass saxes) alone with Tad Weed on the piano, Rob Blakeslee on trumpet, flugelhorn and cornet, Michael Bisio on the contrabass and Billy Mintz on the drum set. The music is in a style I have heard called freebop although I am not sure how common a usage that is. Freebop usually has a harmonic structure that the soloists maintain but they also are free to drop that structure and play free if the logic of their solo developes that way. This is sophisticated music but is also very passionate. Its adherents emphasize the fact that it has to be accessible to the audience. It is very much a music to be played live before an audience."
