Satin Doll

Recorded in Gendel’s native California, the album features three musicians—Gendel on saxophone, Gabe Noel on electric bass, and Philippe Melanson on electronic percussion—engaging in simultaneous synchronized sonic construction/destruction of well-known jazz standards, including Miles Davis’ “Freddie Freeloader,” Charles Mingus’ “Goodbye Porkpie Hat,” and Duke Ellington’s “Satin Doll.”

On his Nonesuch debut, the innovative saxophonist reinvents jazz standards with a psychedelic hip-hop touch.
