Deconstructed (Steve Swallow album)

Deconstructed is an album by the bassist Steve Swallow, released on the Xtra Watt label in 1997.

Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states: "This CD by electric bassist Steve Swallow is a major surprise, for his ten originals are essentially bebop, often using chord changes that sound familiar... This rare straight-ahead outing by Steve Swallow sounds fresh, lively, and creative, and it is one of his most rewarding recordings as a leader."
