The presence of America's WADADA LEO SMITH — a member of Anthony Braxton's trio and a collaborator with Derek Bailey — is remarkable enough, but that's not all: improv master EVAN PARKER also takes part, along with JOHN EDWARDS, a key figure in London's improvised music scene and the bassist of improv trio N.E.W., frequently talked about around cafeOTO. Rather than each player asserting himself, they place exactly the sound the moment requires, creating a taut, charged performance. And the instant WADADA LEO SMITH's dry trumpet enters is pure goosebumps. A sublime session only masters like these could pull off. (Original Japanese text by Hino)
