Album Notes & Community Reviews

This blistering live album perfectly captures the utterly chaotic, highly unpredictable chemistry of the legendary free-improvisation duo. Captured during a breathless set, the record features Orcutt's frantic, blues-deconstructing electric guitar playing violently wrestling with Corsano's incredibly fast, jazz-inflected drum explosions. It is a wildly exhilarating, relentlessly dense document of two master musicians pushing their instruments to the absolute physical limit.
