Blazing Flame

Murmuration is the second album by Blazing Flame and fifth by Steve Day. It is twelve dialogue poem/songs each with an internal narrative, featuring seven superb improvisors. The only thing that is written are Steve's poems. All music is improvised. Keith Tippett and Julie Tippetts expand piano and vocal technic into a unique sphere of spontaneous composition. Julie Tippetts has never sounded so amazingly clear. This music is rich in considered language at a time when idle talk comes cheap.
