Insufficient Funs: Insufficient Funs
by Ian Patterson
An original name, if not quite such an original concept. Saxophone and drum duets used to be as rare as the proverbial hen's teeth, with John Coltrane and Rashied Ali's 1960s collaboration always the benchmark.

This is not, however, a mere tribute through reinterpretation of the great artist's work as Kiermyer has a unique ...
