GOING TO CHURCH - BLOOD AND BODY - BEFORE THE SERMON
Going To Church is a rare and wondrous meeting of three distinct and potent worlds of improv. One sunny Saturday afternoon in the studio with no preset ideas, save free communication through tone. The open form and fluid dynamics that day manifest themselves into this profound program, ranging from rarefied pastoral beauty to an intensity of psychedelic proportions.
String prodigy Mat Maneri and his father, underground legend Joe Maneri - an innovator in the realm of elucidation through microtones. The legendary ex-pat bassist Barre Phillips (New Thing at Newport, Ornette Coleman, Naked Lunch soundtrack, ECM Records pivot) representing the finest that European improv has to offer. Legends in the making Matthew Shipp and Roy Campbell, bring to the party the African-American tradition; their gifts honed in the hardcore NYC of Now. Going To Church is another divine offering from AUM Fidelity. Improvisation at the highest level knows no geographic or genealogical boundaries. Truth to tape.
