This is the sound of Joe Henderson’s 22 alaskan malamutes howling with total abandon.
They love to howl when they have been fed, or pretty much any time they are feeling happy and content. I like the sound too, it’s like canine ululation, an ancient sound that unites all the individuals as a pack and raises the hairs on the back of my neck. Listen carefully and you can hear all their voices, the high, the harmonious, the low and hoary and the darn right mournful. Moments of perfect harmony phase in and out as they find their collective voice. It’s a sound that travels for miles around and broadcasts their collective pride and presence – If I were a passing wolf I would be seriously challenged by this choir!
