    Evan Arntzen, renowned multi-reedist, vocalist and bandleader, presents his third album as a bandleader, Countermelody. This uplifting new release is a celebration of the interplay, collective improvisation and soulful counterpoint that played such a big role in Black American Music emanating from New Orleans in the first half of the 20th century. During a time when convening is all but impossible, Countermelody brings the gaiety of live music to the recorded realm.

    Countermelody brings early-jazz-exuberance to an eager present in a release which author and Louis Armstrong historian, Ricky Riccardi, calls “the very definition of timeless” in the album’s liner notes. Arntzen’s Dot Time Records debut features many of his own astounding arrangements of early New Orleans and Chicago jazz compositions written by such luminaries as Kid Ory, King Oliver, Sidney Bechet and Bennie Moten. The release also features wonderfully innovative compositions by Arntzen, Halloran and Kellso. Aside from thirteen hi-fidelity tracks, listeners will also be treated to tracks that were recorded to wax cylinder, a medium that actually predates when much of this music was composed.

lyrics

So listen honey while I say
How can you tell me that you're going away
Don't say that we must part
Don't break my achin' heart
You know I loved you true for many a'year
Loved you night and day
How can you leave me, can't you see my tears
So listen while I say
After you've gone and left me cryin'
After you've gone there's no denyin'
You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad
You'll miss the dearest pal you've ever had, Lord
They'll come a time, now don't forget it
They'll come a time, you will regret it
Someday, when you are lonely
Your heart will break like mine
You'll want me only
After you've gone
After you've gone away

Someday, when you grow lonely
Your heart will break like mine
You'll want me only
After you've gone
After you've gone away
