Among collectors of ultra-rare, private-press editions, the recordings of Mark Tucker represent the pinnacle of a highly personalized, untouchably damaged musical vision. In 1968, Tucker founded the Tetrapod Spools label to release direct-cut acetates and reel-to-reels containing his unlikely music masterpieces. Tetrapod's first vinyl release, the highly experimental BATSTEW (1975), became highly coveted by enthusiasts of basement-level, loner-psych productions. After suffering a series of mental breakdowns, Tucker resurfaced in 1982 with his second full-length, IN THE SACK. Ostensibly hatched as a concept album centered on themes of karma, the apocalypse, and the U.S. postal service, the album is an indescribably strange mix of na�f songwriting, ersatz piano virtuosity, and spoken-word ramblings. Resembling a bizarre amalgam of Van Dyke Parks's SONG CYCLE crossed with the fractured, art-damaged pop of the Residents and Half Japanese, IN THE SACK offers a fascinating glimpse into one of the most obscure corners of the music underground.
Personnel: Catherine Espinoza (recorder).
The Wire (pp.70-71) - "Tucker's smart but undoubtedly outsider vision reflects the Southern California sunshine via the influence of ECM jazz on its piano-centred compositions." Mark Tucker In The Sack Songs In The Sack Review

The Jack Furlong Quartet (JFQ) performs classic jazz charts as well as their own original compositions. Although traditional in its approach, this synthesis of old and new has served the JFQ well, and in many ways reflects the current course of mainstream jazz. The group is led by Jack Furlong, a graduate of Lafayette College with a B.A. in Music. Furlong began his musical career playing the alto sax. Over time, he moved to the tenor sax, and finally to the baritone sax. “Saxophonists are trying to make their way on the soprano, alto, or tenor sax,” notes Furlong. “But who among them really take the time to play the bari sax? There were very few in history, and there are very few now.” He continues, “People who play soprano, alto, and tenor are mimicking Charlie Parker and John Coltrane, who were known for their speed around the horn. But that’s not what the baritone is about. The greats on the baritone, like Gerry Mulligan and Pepper Adams, were known for their clearer, more deliberate melodic ideas and compositions, rather than their ability to push buttons at the speed of light. That’s why I love the baritone so much.”Furlong honed his chops performing in the Lafayette College Jazz Ensemble and Jazz Combo, as well as participating in other musical ensembles and activities. Furlong also began composing for big band and small ensembles. After graduation, he became the Assistant Director for the Lafayette College Jazz Ensemble and worked for both the Music Department and the Religious Life Department at Lafayette. Furlong is currently working on his Masters in Music at William Paterson University, concentrating on jazz composition and arranging. Furlong’s compositions and arrangements are influenced by standards and contemporary music alike, noting, “I enjoy playing standards just as the greats played them, like the original Miles recording of ‘Bye Bye Blackbird.’” But Furlong also plays classic jazz charts with a twist, as heard in the quartet’s reworking of tunes like Coltrane’s “Impressions,” Monk’s “Blue Monk,” and Wayne Shorter’s “Speak No Evil.” Furlong also incorporates elements of what he calls “programmatic music.” He explains: “I’m interested in music written for movies and video games. It helps create a mood or emotion in a way that jazz does as well, and it’s part of contemporary mainstream pop culture.” Furlong particularly enjoys music from the James Bond franchise, and is influenced by the greats like John Barry and Monty Norman from the older 007 flicks, and more recently, ...
