Some Things Are Not Known

“Some Things Are Not Known” revives an old song in Euforquestra’s catalog and lays it down to tape in this Color Red collaboration. Saxophonist Austin Zalatel set out to write a through-composed tune to challenge the group utilizing odd time meters and interesting chord tones. With no set form, listeners are taken on a journey that incorporates elements of funk, soul-jazz, and prog-rock in an innovative tune that stacks up among the ranks of artists like Chris Potter, Parliament-Funkadelic, and Return to Forever. The through-composed nature of the song and spontaneity will leave listeners wondering what will happen next hence the title, “Some Things Are Not Known.”
