Free-improv trio of reeds and violin. Melodic stuff, and mostly in a quiet/sad vein, maybe from classical-music influences. Many tracks start out near-ambient and get into some overlapping activity later, peaceful and restrained.
Can't help but mention that violinist MIKE KHOURY is the proprietor of the Entropy Stereo record label out of Ann Arbor, Michigan. He's put out some great CDs showcasing midland free-jazz folks like Faruq Z. Bey.
1*- Slow, floaty, led by bass clarinet
2*- Swirling and fairly fast
3- Skittish-fast sax start. Slows into a sparse dialogue.
4- Sparse sax bursts
5- Slow, pre-written(?) piece, ambling and dissonant
6- Quiet, sparse, skittery
7*- Atmospheric; speeds up later
8*- Strong slow violin tones, w/ melodic sax
9- Quiet, peaceful activity
10- Mid/slow and sad
11- Floaty, drifting, slow
