Total mastery of patience, time, and drama create a constantly engaging journey that never gets tiresome or same-y: in fact the harder you listen the better it gets! Somehow Sorey et al. find a way to combine the deep listening and spontaneous interaction of the best jazz with the sense of every tone and sound being worth a universe of listening, which could be equally from Cage and Feldman or the accompaniment to an ancient ritual.
The recording/engineering is absolutely perfect as well. Giles

It's taken me a while to feel like I 'get' Evan Parker's music at all. Joe Morris is a true master who really 'gets it'. This performance feels a bit like they are each finishing the other's sentences, while throwing in a few traps. I love the joy in this sparring, and the way Morris somehow controls Parker's huge tenor personality/sound with 'simple' near-acoustic plucking. Phenomenal levels of listening and musicianship.
Joe Morris's very informative notes here are a massive bonus too! Giles
