Free improv doesn't get much better than this. A veritable supergroup (Zorn, Laswell, Patton, Douglas, Burger, and Perowsky) performed at Zorn's New York music space 'The Stone' in 2006, and this was the result. The 48-minute record is really one long track split into parts,; it ranges from beautiful and serene ("Introduction," "Postlude") to chaotic and noisy ("Interlude 1," "Part Two"). The performance is not dominated by any one member; aspects of each player (Zorn's sax, Laswell's dub influence) are audible in good proportion (though I would have liked to hear more of Patton). It also manages to mostly avoid the meandering and/or self-involved nature that free improv often suffers from. An excellent release.
