Let Me Tell You This

The recessed red and black stage of the legendary jazz institution The Village Vanguard has been a backdrop for creative inspiration and spirited collaboration for over 80 years. It has remained an intimate venue where artists can let music blossom over an extended engagement. It was during a weeklong residency of saxophonist Bill McHenry that Vanguard regular Max Koslow was struck by a particular partnership, enough so to jump into a business in which he had no experience: recordings.

Logan Larson and Logarhythmic Collective is a new music ensemble that brings a raw, loud, and unapologetic approach to their music. Their signature sound is a combination of classical music idioms and the visceral synths and drums of Electronic Dance Music (EDM). "The Monster You Made" has songs ranging from the core trio of voice (Logan Larson), saxophone (Benjamin Morris), and trombone (Thomas McKee) to featured guest soloists, chamber groups, and large ensembles. Guest artists include: University of Kansas Symphonic Band, Mississippi State University Percussion Ensemble, Frye Music Duo, Kyle Pearl, Philip Beatty, Joseph Pazanowski, Wesley Frye, and Daniel Echazabal. This is a creature of your own creation, a monster is born, this is… the monster you made.

The story behind this duo setting by legendary drummer Andrew Cyrille and venerable tenor saxophonist Bill McHenry was initiated by Max Koslow who routinely attends New York City's fabled Village Vanguard venue on Thursday evenings. After hearing the twosome perform, he proposed they record a set in the studio for his nascent Brain Schism Productions. Indeed, the artists' synergy comes into full swing from the onset for a production that clocks in at 38-minutes.
