Christoph Gallio, Dominic Lash, Mark Sanders

"I've been listening to Christoph Gallio and the various incarnations of Day & Taxi for over three decades – almost since its inception. On this album, however, the Swiss saxophonist makes a debut with a different trio, featuring British improvisers Dominic Lash and Mark Sanders. The result is pungent, powerful music on the cusp of free jazz and free improv – a dichotomy that helps define Gallio's work, though he also composes. Listening to this wonderful album invites re-consideration of the rhythmic complexities and subtleties of free jazz, which may now be in a "common practice" era after nearly sixty years of development." - Andy Hamilton
