Bob Magnusson returns with Two Generations of Music

From discogs:

Bob Magnusson is a jazz, pop and classical bassist as well as a teacher.

born 24 February 1947 in New York City, USA

He studied Frensh horn for 12 years and switched to double bass in 1967. He has worked with a great variety of artists, including: Sarah Vaughan, Art Pepper Quartet, Linda Ronstadt, Natalie Cole, Neil Diamond, Bonnie Raitt, 10,000 Maniacs and Madonna.

We covered him before in connection with Bill Mays and Peter Sprague, both of whom appear on this release with him.  Like the amazing Kaleidoscope album from Bill, they tend to mix classical or chamber music composition with laid-back contemporary jazz styles and this album from 1982 goes all-out with the classical styled composition, luckily, in the modern idiom with a ton of dissonance and weaving complicated patterns, influenced as usual by moderns like Stravinsky and Bartok.  Despite that father Magnusson on clarinet appears along with the son Bob on bass, the music is mostly written by a third party who is Gordon Brisker, another illustrious jazz musician who obviously received a splendid post-grad classical music education somewhere.  For example, the track called Magnanimity:

The album closes with a suite by the elder, Daniel Magnusson, about Iceland, which is where the family comes from, which is not as sharp and detailed as the compositions by Brisker.
