Cover Art by Mary Ramsay

Digital Recording by Jon Wilkinson

This recording consist on two improvisational sessions. One was recorded on February 2002 and it features Tony Bianco (percussion) and Paul Dunmall (tenor sax) along with Marcio Mattos on double bass and electronics. The other one features the duo along with Paul Rogers on bass. Here we have improvisation that while being extremely creative it retains some elements of whatn we are accustomed to listen in the free jazz context. Each of the two tracks on this 2 CD set is over an hour long and both feature incredible musicianship as well as many different parts, changes in moods, breaks and tempo changes. This guys know how to improvise being spontaneous and don´t becoming chaotic as sometimes happens. On the recording with Paul Rogers the feeling changes and Dunmall plays soprano sax in order to fit better this new trio. Ideas are really well developed and they have a beginning and a conclusion that can be listened clearly. Lovers of improvisation should check this one.

Favorite tracks: BOTH !!!!
