"Here Today Gone Tomorrow" is an adventurous CD release by saxophonist Paul Dunmall on the independent label Rogue Art. Rooted in contemporary jazz and free improvisation, this album captures Dunmall's distinctive voice on the saxophone: raw yet lyrical, spiritually searching yet grounded in a deep sense of swing and melody. The music unfolds in extended pieces, allowing themes to evolve organically, with intense peaks, quiet introspection and a strong focus on real-time interaction between the musicians. Listeners can expect richly textured improvisations, a wide dynamic range from whisper-soft passages to eruptive outbursts, and a sense of spontaneous storytelling that rewards repeated listening. This CD is ideal for fans of exploratory jazz who value authenticity and uncompromising creativity over commercial formulas.
