​Cascade Crescendo (from the album Chasing the Sun available as a self-release)
The genre of Bluegrass continues to be defined by the band’s choice of instruments rather than strict allegiance to rules on Chasing the Sun, the recent release from Cascade Crescendo. Musically, Chasing the Sunis an orchestrated jam, freeform playing taking flight over carefully mapped out territory. Cascade Crescendo hold on tight to hometown pride in album opener, “Bridgetown”, as band fall through an audio rabbit hole of notes flashing by while “All Been Done” style-shifts its playing between flamboyant Gypsy Jazz and downhome riffs. For Cascade Crescendo, the only constant is change, the music finding footing in the band’s intuitive delivery when “Straight to the West” takes a rough-shorn rhythmic road while “Go Fiddle Yourself” collects a kaleidoscope of cleanly played notes to twirl, and caffeinated picking backs the frenetic requests of “Give Me Space”. Taking their name from the Cascade Mountains that ranges through the group’s Portland, Oregon homebase, Pacific Northwest Jam Grass stirs their strings for “Spun Like a Record” as Cascade Crescendo search for a memory of where they have been in “Empty Trains”, and ride dark waves realizing ‘you can’t sail far on a lake even when their great’ in “Sailboat”.
