Sam Gendel treads his own path
To be a fan of Sam Gendel is to give yourself over to a relentless wave of music. The 35-year-old Los Angeles-based saxophonist released his latest album Superstore last month and its title reflects its comprehensive nature: chances are you will find what you need in at least one of its 34 tracks. Compared to last year’s 52-song, 224-minute epic Fresh Bread, however, it’s positively novella-like in its brevity.
