Keshavan Maslak, Charles Moffett

Blaster Master is a saxophone and drums duo, Keshavan Maslak with Charles Moffett, recorded in concert at the Konfrontationen festival in Nickelsdorf, a village in eastern Austria, on August 16, 1981 and released by Black Saint in 1984. Moffett had been the drummer of the Ornette Coleman trio of the mid 1960s, the band heard on the two At the Golden Circle albums for Blue Note, and he had known Coleman since their school years in Fort Worth. The music is free jazz for horn and kit alone, with no bass or piano.

Maslak plays alto and tenor saxophone, and Moffett plays drums. The concert was taped by Friedrich Switil at the Jazzgalerie Nickelsdorf, the venue named in the credits, mixed by Paul Griffin at Little Big Horn in New York and mastered by Gennaro Carone, with Giovanni Bonandrini as producer and notes by Francis Davis. The set is in five pieces. Blast Yo Mama opens it in under three minutes and Jizz And Cocktails runs a little over seven. The title track lasts more than twelve minutes. The longest stretch is the closing pair, Jim Jizzbo at fifteen and a half minutes and Judy Jizzbo at nearly eleven.

Black Saint CD 120079-2, which Discogs lists as a reissue of the album first released in 1984 as BSR 0079, with a 1984 copyright on the disc.
