Second outstanding disc from this wonderful international collaboration featuring Urs Leimgruber on tenor & soprano saxes, Marilyn Crispell on piano & percussion, Joelle Leandre on contrabass and Fritz Hauser on drums. Four master improvisers and sonic explorers who have worked together in different combinations in the past, although this is only their second disc as a quartet. Beautifully recorded for Swiss radio just one year ago in October of 2004. Extremely well crafted and cautious in the way it unfolds. Leimgruber and Hauser's duo/trio explorations go back many years and you can tell by the way they work in similar sonic terrain, with minute fractures and exquisitely placed sounds. This work often sounds like minimal modern classical music with the same attention to detail and scientific structure. Thoughtful, delicate and quietly explosive in spots. A consistent dialogue and a story-like turn of events. An extraordinary effort from all parties involved.
