Planet Dream
Planet Dream is an album by American jazz trombonist Steve Swell which was recorded in 2008 and released on the Portuguese Clean Feed label. He leads a trio with Rob Brown on alto sax and Daniel Levin on cello. Background. Brown and Swell are long-time members of William Parker's Little Huey Creative Music Orchestra. They have also worked in smaller groups on the albums "We Are Not Obstinate Islands" by The Diplomats, a collaborative trio with drummer Harris Eisenstadt, and "Radiant Pools", under Brown's leadership. Levin and Brown have worked in a trio with drummer  Satoshi Takeishi, which recorded "Sounds". Reception. In a double review for All About Jazz, Wilbur Mackenzie states "Swell has worked with cellist Dan Levin and saxophonist Rob Brown before in various contexts, but a tightly woven trio environment provides for a very exposed look at how three distinct identities can contribute to a meaningful whole while maintaining individual directionality."
