On October 15th and 16th, 2020, drummer Daniel Villarreal
was joined by guitarist Jeff Parker and bassist Anna Butterss for
two afternoons of recording in the backyard of Chicali Outpost
in Los Angeles. For all three musicians, it was the first ensemble
recording session they’d done in-person since the pandemic
locked the world down just seven months prior. Some choice
moments from these sessions made it onto Villarreal’s critically-
acclaimed 2022 album Panamá 77, but most of the music
remained unreleased.
Lados B is a deep dive into the high-level spontaneous music
made by Villarreal, Parker, and Butterss across those two days
in 2020. Villarreal is heard leading the group through various
rhythmic modes and structures for improvisation – flow as
informed by the Latin funk of Fania Records as it is by the
otherworldly humanity trance of Brain Records – while Parker
and Butterss draw on their extensive experience playing free
together (as heard on their ETA IVtet LPs) to build harmonic
buoys for their spontaneous melodicism. The result is a
beautifully vivid illustration of context, creativity, and collective
composition from a particularly rich moment in history.
...OUT 11 SEPTEMBER 2026!
