David Karsten Daniels and Fight the Big Bull: I Mean to Live Here Still (FatCat)

David Karsten Daniels and Fight the Big Bull: I Mean to Live Here Still (FatCat) – Richmond's own nonet Fight the Big Bull join San Francisco based folky troubadour David Karsten Daniels for a modernistic take on the poems of Henry David Thoreau. The poetic marriage of traditional hymnals and country with adventurous jazz arrangements of clarinet, saxophones, trumpet, trombones, bass and percussion yields a multi-dimensional album that’s rewardingly harmonious and complex.
