Sunn Trio, Joel Robinson

This 7" vinyl split showcases experimental jazz outfit Sunn Trio, led by multi-instrumentalist Joel Robinson from Arizona's desert scene, alongside his solo work. On the A-side, Sunn Trio delivers "Touch Seang Tana," a hypnotic fusion of modal jazz, Eastern ragas, and desert-inspired improvisation featuring dilruba, tabla, tanpura, guitar, cello, and percussion for a hazy, cosmic vibe. The B-side features Joel Robinson's "Taqasim For Asmahan," a poignant taqasim—a traditional Arabic improvisational form—honoring the legendary Egyptian singer Asmahan, blending soprano sax with introspective, wailing melodies echoing influences like Sun Ra and Albert Ayler. Limited pressing captures the raw, boundary-pushing energy of Sunn Trio's collective ethos, evoking punk-jazz contrasts and arid landscapes.
