Sax-led quartet doing Gratkowski's avant/Euro compositions. Mostly pleasant stuff with offbeat ideas. Gratkowski's sax (or clarinet) usually adds bright color, accompanied by a trombone that provides a contrasting growliness. 1- Abstract disjoint noises; tribute to abstract disjoint vocalist Jaap Blonk 2- Slow start, warms up considerably, turning into an avant-swing jam 3- Short bursts, lots of pauses. Gradually accelerates into a fast chaos 4- Slow, pensive 5- Loping swing 6- Slow, wandering chamber music, lots of low notes | ||
