Electronics pioneer Alvin Curran supplies bizarre background treatments, ...

Stone Quartet: Live at Vision Festival

Live at Vision Festival--only the second by this master quartet, recorded four years after the self-titled DMG/ARC 2008 debut--is an exemplary document of free-improvisation. It's free-flowing, full of musical ideas, unique dynamics with a cohesive narrative and, as AAJ colleague John Sharpe wrote in his liner notes, “everyone's ego subsumed to the needs of the music." ...
