This is far more than mere poetry recitation — it embodies the style of avant-garde improvisation in the realm of words. Running alongside Gustafsson's Non-Music-like roar, drawn from a wide arsenal of horns, flute, organ, piano harp and live electronics, McPhee takes on the eerie, seedy glow of NYC neon and America's contemporary politicians. The opener "Short Pieces" begins with a meditative passage musing on free jazz giants like David Murray, Don Cherry and Eric Dolphy, then arrives at a wry reading that mimics the accent of his comrade Peter Brötzmann — a moment described as a "guaranteed laugh-out-loud performance," though we'll let you be the judge (any sharp-eared listeners out there?). Intense! (Original Japanese text by Adachi)
