The Wild is the new recording by Rich Halley and his son, drummer Carson Halley. The album features ten spontaneous improvisations that cover a wide range of conceptual and emotional terrain. Rich and Carson Halley have been performing as a duo for nearly twenty years and have evolved their own unique musical approach. The Wild is Rich Halley’s deepest exploration of the conceptual and sonic possibilities of the tenor saxophone to date, and Carson Halley demonstrates the compositional awareness, power and sensitivity he brings to the music as percussionist. The Wild combines exploration, roots and emotion in an engaging and powerful statement. Rich Halley has released twenty recordings as a leader. The Wild follows the critically acclaimed recordings The Outlier, Eleven, Creating Structure, The Wisdom of Rocks and Crossing the Passes.
