by Scott YanowRecorded at the 1993 Vancouver Jazz Festival, these five group improvisations feature sound explorations by pianist Marilyn Crispell, bassist Barry Guy and drummer Gerry Hemingway. The interplay is quite spontaneous and the continuous music is rather forbidding, atonal and with an emphasis on sounds rather than notes. Although there is a creative use of space, the lack of any real themes or lyrical moments make this performance much less interesting than one would expect considering the musicians involved.
