Mystery Project is the first album by American jazz saxophonist Glenn Spearman Double Trio, which was recorded in 1992 and released on the Italian Black Saint label.[1]

Background

The concept of the Double Trio was born at Oakland Improvisers Festival in 1990. Saxophonist Larry Ochs was at the festival with his trio Room, with pianist Chris Brown and percussionist William Winant. Spearman was appearing with bassist Ben Lindgren and drummer Donald Robinson. They decided to combine all these players to create the Double Trio.[2]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz	[3]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz says about Spearman "He's a fierce player, overblowing in the upper register and virtually incapable of anything less than full throttle. He never sacrifices sublety to power, though. This is intelligent music that never palls or sound dated."[3]

gollark: But this is wrong™, because that stuff lets you focus on the LOGIC and not the boilerplate.

gollark: Go advocates, who are wrong, claim that stuff like not having iterators makes it easier to understand code.

gollark: I think often it's beneficial to be able to write stuff neatly and elegantly without having to explicitly write everything.

gollark: Well, macros are useful for stuff like println.

gollark: You can even have procedural macros.
