Honey Badger – Built off a simple yet dissonant motive (heard in full in the bass line used during the song’s latter half), this track is as cunning, stealthy, and nearly as lethal as its namesake. “Badger” drifts between sound worlds of pressing ECM grooves and raucous New Orleans vaudeville, but despite its expansive journey, it ends up exactly where it starts. Written by John Dorhauer; Solos by Phil Arquette (trombone), Adam Frank (tenor sax), James Baum (baritone sax), and Carl Kennedy (piano).
