Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing to define their unique, chamber-like approach to the avant-garde, the quartet's second album relies on intricate, conversational interplay rather than overwhelming volume. Roswell Rudd's trombone and John Tchicai's alto saxophone weave highly structured, nearly telepathic collective improvisations. Recorded in the Netherlands, the session underscores the growing international influence of the New York free jazz underground.
