Album Notes & Community Reviews

Pianist Bob James intersects acoustic free jazz with avant-garde electronic elements on this ESP-Disk release. The trio's erratic, dissonant improvisations are frequently disrupted by aggressive musique concr猫te tape splices and harsh electronic noise, creating a highly anxious, experimental atmosphere.
