Description: | This duo??s second and definitive recording will be released on ESP-Disk' - the legendary free jazz label where Albert Ayler released his breakthrough recording in 1964, the first jazz recording on ESP. A lot has changed since 1964, but a lot and perhaps too much remains virtually the same. So their "free jazz" music, while influenced by many musical discoveries and sociological developments that have become part of the firmament over the past 50+ years, still celebrates and revels in the spirit of Sixties free jazz. Ochs is a founding member of the great ROVA Saxophone Quartet, one of the Bay Area??s avant-garde treasures since 1978. Robinson ?? ??a percussive dervish,? according to Coda ?? was the drummer of choice for ROVA??s revivification of John Coltrane??s Ascension. The East Bay Express has said of the saxophonist??s sound: ??Ochs?? full-bodied tenor is out of the John Coltrane/Albert Ayler ??free?? tradition: forceful, passionate? talking-in-tongues,? while the Chicago Reader said about the drummer and his relationship with Ochs, ??Robinson is neither flashy nor explosive, but his playing has heft and he covers lots of ground ?? he can maintain a feeling of order while playing meter-less rhythms or transform the pulse of jagged post-bop until it??s almost abstract. - |
