Featuring original members \u003cstrong\u003eLiberty Ellman\u003c\/strong\u003e on guitar, \u003cstrong\u003eJose Davila\u003c\/strong\u003e on trombone and tuba, \u003cstrong\u003eElliot Humberto Kavee\u003c\/strong\u003e on drums, and cellist \u003cstrong\u003eChristopher Hoffman\u003c\/strong\u003e, who has been a member for over a decade and a half, the band exhibits a sense of ease with Threadgill's knotty compositional sense, achieving their signature quality with less strict adherence to the distinctive interval-based compositional system that won Threadgill a Pulitzer Prize for his landmark work \u003cem\u003eIn for a Penny, In for a Pound\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album comprises a number of brief pieces that are inspired by Henry Threadgill's fascination with early recording technologies. Their short recording durations force each musician to make their statements quickly rather than through protracted development. This limitation helps open new possibilities for musical expression, making \u003cem\u003eCut You Where You Was\u003c\/em\u003e another tour-de-force from one of the most important artists of the last half-century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PI RECORDINGS","offers":[{"title":"Black Vinyl LP","offer_id":58781583573337,"sku":"SDZ-49939","price":32.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/henry-vinyl.png?v=1786012583","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/henry-threadgill-cut-you-where-you-was","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
