Rudi Mahall / Alexander von Schlippenbach: So Far
by Mark Corroto
The raw materials with which pianist Alexander von Schlippenbach and clarinetist (chiefly bass clarinetist) Rudy Mahall work on the free improvisation recording So Far, are best described as untreated, as opposed to unrefined, the other definition of raw.
