Jon Irabagon

DIGIPACK EDITION

Saxophonist Jon Irabagon’s 10th album as a leader is a super-charged spectacle of daredevil adventure tempered by a dose of freak-show macabre.

The six Irabagon-penned mini-suites that constitute Dr. Quixotic’s Traveling Exotics are intricate creations distinguished by cyclical, interwoven lines, strange meters and intense motific development. Irabagon and his bandmates twisted forms with well-developed improvisations that veer toward the abyss of reckless abandon in the name of blessed irreverence and compelling storytelling. It’s an exhilarating program that draws from the realms of post-bop, free improvisation and progressive rock.
