    This Kohoutek's number is really good, with a powerful build-up that makes it stand out from the crowd. A pity it is an LP-only release, but I'll keep an eye on this ensemble.

    Thanks Jay.Dee
    I can upload the album or burn you a CD if you like. Let me know.

    As an aside to other PE-ers, we're playing in NYC (7/27) Greenfield MA (7/28) and Boston (7/29) this week.

    Thanks for your kind offer, but I can see it available for download at a very affordable price here:

    Anyway, as an old-school physical item fetishist I would dive first into the band's back catalogue, which offers some nice selection of live and studio material over the last decade:

    The s/t live release sounds enticing...

    Improvisation deconstructed by Ornette Coleman and Jacques Derrida:

    When I was doing free jazz, most people thought that I just picked up my saxophone and played whatever was going through my head, without
    following any rule, but that wasn't true. [...] I compose and I give the parts to the musicians in rehearsal. What's really shocking in improvised music is that despite its name, most musicians use a "framework" as a basis for improvising. [...] The idea is that two or three people can have a conversation with sounds, without trying to dominate it or lead it. [...]

    In improvised music I think the musicians are trying to reassemble an emotional or intellectual puzzle, in any case a puzzle in which the instruments give the tone. [...] In jazz you can take a very old piece and do another version of it. What's exciting is the memory that you bring to the present. [However] the form that metamorphoses into other forms, I think it's something healthy, but very rare.

    [Also] repetition is already in improvisation: thus when people want to trap you between improvisation and the pre-written, they are wrong. Repetition is as natural as the fact that the earth rotates.
