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
