This recording is a March 2007 meeting with master drummer Rashied Ali in the studios of WKCR-New York. This was their first date together since appearing on Archie Shepp's On This Night back in 1965. Though sustaining interest over 55 minutes with just bass and drums might seem an impossibility, the two veterans carry it off with aplomb (only slightly aided by Grimes' doubling on his restlessly soaring violin and recitation of his poetry, with arco swipes maintaining the flow). With his well-tempered drums, Ali eschews bombast and such is his grasp of dynamics that a strong structural sense pervades the set. Grimes makes a strong case for first meetings, but the subtext is that they nonetheless benefit from common ground and the capacity for instant design that comes from hard-won experience.
