CRIMINAL MASTERMIND by Karl E. H. Seigfried
After years of playing in and leading ensembles, Karl steps forward on his own with this groundbreaking album of original music for solo bass. The ten tracks tread a stylistic path from Delta blues to Gregorian plainchant to open soundscapes to hip hop intensity to speaking in tongues to a séance with the spirit of Charles Mingus.
The album features "The Malachi Favors Suite," a three-part composition written and performed by Karl on the passing of the great Art Ensemble of Chicago bassist.
