Album Notes & Community Reviews

Translating to 'scraps of conversation,' this highly abstract live session documents a crucial meeting between the American alto saxophonist and key figures of the emerging European free jazz scene, including vibes player Gunter Hampel. The entirely improvised performance eschews aggressive bombast for sparse, remarkably subtle textural explorations and intuitive, quiet communication. It highlights a critical intersection point in the global development of non-idiomatic improvised music.
