"Stevens pioneered the use of unorthodox kits - the early augmentations of bongos, tiny cymbals, and wood blocks heard on SUMMER 1967 were refined over the years around a snare and twin high hat core. Comprised of eight compact duets with Parker, and two expansive trios including bassist Peter Kowald, SUMMER 1967 finds the elements of Stevens' approach in place. His use of offsetting colours and textures never totally obscures his inveterate propulsiveness, and his intense outbursts are leavened with a light, low volume touch. Parker's work, especially on soprano, is at a fascinating prototypical stage. While the rhythmic and melodic aspects of his phraseology are gelling, there are only hints of his trademark buzzes and squalls; as a result, his solos seem tentative. SUMMER 1967 documents an important step in his artistic matriculation."
