The Microscopic Septet was a creative ensemble
(soprano saxophonist Philip Johnston,
alto saxophonist Don Davis,
tenor saxophonist Paul Shapiro, baritone saxophonist Dave Sewelson,
pianist Joel Forrester, bassist Dave Hofstra and drummer Richard Dworkin)
that concocted an eccentric and sometimes clownish stew of free jazz, progressive-rock and rhythm'n'blues.
The effervescent Take the Z Train (january 1983),
Let's Flip (november 1984),
Off Beat Glory (april 1986),
and Beauty Based on Science (february 1988) were full of twists and turns but
remained true to a homogeneous consistent ideology of passionate irreverence
and unbound imagination.
Forrester and Johnston were the main composers.
Their mutant scores were collages of stylistic quotations that evoked Frank Zappa's madcap romantic orchestral themes.
