1995 release ** "This engaging little slab reflects a 1995 recording date between Evan Parker's saxophones, Antonello Salis' piano and accordion, and Mauro Orselli's drums and cymbals. Featuring nine variously timed improvisations, this works simply because of the sheer delight and will of the performers. Here, texture means nothing, tonality means nothing, listening means nothing. The reason for being, the raison d'être, if you will, is simply action and reaction and more action. This is conscious anarchy, one that seeks its own watermark of freedom in the midst of the restrictions placed before the individuals who cannot even speak to one another (the Italians can, but not Parker) because they don't share a language. What's left is inertia and the sense of humor inherent in such an outrageous proposition that it, and a little luck, will carry you through. It certainly succeeds here, drawing Parker out of his continually serious microphonic and microtonal investigations for long enough to get some frivolous playing done, which makes for great music. Theories of practice are wiped away in the joy of discovering dynamic and drama: the making of music not in relation to what is being played by the others. There is a sense of play here that is absent from virtually every one of Parker's records; his frivolity on his horns, sometimes switching mid-phrase, is notable and communicates well to a pianist spiraling to match his joy and a drummer doing his level best to let everything fall to pieces just enough to never reassemble it into anything that resembles intention. God, the world needs more music like this."
