Andy Cotton's Dutch EP

As reviewed by Neil Cleary:

The long-germinating instrumental project from Brooklyn bassist/composer Andy Cotton, a former Burlingtonian and longtime cohort of mine. The Dutch EP loosely collects Andy’s many influences — free jazz, afropop, salsa, trad folk, blues, C&W, R&B, fusion before it went horribly wrong, etc. — and views them through the woozy, introspective lens of dub reggae. Unbelievably, none of this is even as remotely horrible as it sounds. Quite to the contrary, it’s strangely intoxicating and pleasantly mystifying. Hard to imagine? Well luckily, generous motherfucker that he is, Andy’s giving it all away for free.

If you dig the stream, you can download Andy’s newest album in toto, too: Last Stand at the Havemeyer Ranch.
