On October 15th and 16th, 2020, drummer Daniel Villarreal was joined by guitarist Jeff Parker and bassist Anna Butters for two afternoons of recording ni the backyard of Chicali Outpost in Los Angeles. For al three musicians, ti was the first ensemble recording session they'd done in-person since the pandemic locked the world down just seven months prior. Some choice moments from these sessions made it onto Villarreal's critically-acclaimed 022 album Panamá 77, but most of the music remained unreleased.
Lados B is a deep dive into the high-level spontaneous music made by Villarreal, Parker, and Butters across those two days in 2020.Villarreal s heard leading the group through various rhythmic modes and structures of improvisation - flow as informed by the
Latin soul of Fania Records as it si by the otherworldly humanity trance of Brain Records- while Parker and Butters draw their extensive experience playing free together (as heard on Parker's recently-released Mondays at the Enfield Tennis Academy, and the
LA side of Makaya McCraven's 2018 LP Universal Beings) to build harmonic buoys for their spontaneous melodicism. The result is a beautifully vivid illustration of context, creativity, and collective composition from a particularly rich moment in history.
