Michael Bisio / Raymond Boni / Dominic Duval / Joe McPhee: Port of Saints

Read "Port of Saints" reviewed by Lyn Horton


The unvarnished truth about improvised music is that it takes us where we never expect to go. Port of Saints describes an epic journey whose main character is the saxophone. A guitar acts as the saxophone's alter ego. Two basses supply avuncular guide posts for traveling to an unknowable but certain destination. The journey is rife ...

Joe McPhee / Matthew Shipp / Dominic Duvall: In Finland

Read "In Finland" reviewed by Rex  Butters


With its beautiful sound, In Finland captures three master improvisers live and spinnin' takes. Longtime fans of Matthew Shipp who miss his prolonged flights into thundering, gothic creations: this is your fix. With two tracks hovering around the thirty-minute mark, the performances allow Shipp room to stretch and flex. Joe McPhee sticks mainly to a rich-toned ...
