Shot x Shot: Let Nature Square<\/em><\/strong> (2007 [2008], High Two): Trivia: type “shot x shot” into google and it returns: 1 shot x shot = 1.96783571 \u00d7 10-9<\/sup> m6<\/sup><\/strong>. No idea what that means, but typographically the ‘x’ in the group name is a multiplication sign, so I figure they’re somehow related. Philadelphia group: two saxes (Bryan Rogers on tenor, Dan Scofield on alto), bass (Matt Engle), and drums (Dan Capecchi). Almost everyone writes (Rogers missed out this time). Second album. Free jazz, rocks abstractly. The two saxes don’t diverge as much as similar sax\/trumpet groups, which may be why their stuff blurs a bit. Two good solid albums. Someday a great one?
