Back to the books

A couple of weeks ago I headed over to Black Squirrel Booksto catch sets from Casa Lagarto, Saxsyndrum and Del Bel. Casa Lagarto were up first in a drummerless formation and sounding more like American Death Ray to my ears than ever.

Next up, Del Bel. They have a new album out, III (which makes sense since it's their third). Last time I saw them was at Mugshots a couple of years ago, as a sextet. They were up a saxophonist for this set and sounding great.
