Baker’s Dozen
Chicago’s Junius Paul kicks off the jazz jam of “Baker’s Dozen” with some faux feedback scrawl that sounds like a Sonic Youth outtake. Until the drums kick in. Love you, Steve Shelley – that’s not how you hit the skins.
A saxophone announces itself with some more traditional tut-tutting, but the composition as a whole never settles into a conventional structure that’s interested in telling a story.
Composer and musician Junius Paul seems more interested in just hanging out on this track, feeling through the improvisation to sketch a quick mood and then move on. Shades of On the Corner.
