Inciso a Brooklyn nel settembre 2007, questo bell'album vede coagire due storici (per quanto appartati) alfieri della free music quali il norvegese Gierstad, classe 1948, e il neroamericano Mateen (Philadelphia, 1951), ospite l'almeno altrettanto glorioso trombonista Steve Swell, musicisti sui cui palmares incontriamo i nomi di William Parker, Cecil Taylor, Sunny Murray, Lol Coxhill, Peter Brötzmann, ...

01. George Lewis - Roscoe Mitchell - Muhal Richard Abrams - Streaming (Pi Recordings - 2005). E' terribilmente importante avere una documentazione sonora di questi tre maestri. Hanno contribuito così tanto alla musica che amiamo che ascoltare i lavori a proprio nome o, come in questo caso, riuniti in un gruppo è un'esperienza meravigliosa. 02. Sabir ...
