Joe McPhee

• DIGIPACK EDITION

Two reed geniuses, working together in sublime formation – an extended, open live performance setting – which makes for incredible interplay throughout!

There's a beautiful balance between unity and conflict going on here – Evan Parker and Joe McPhee both blowing soprano and tenor, with McPhee on a small bit of pocket cornet as well – crafting lines that sometimes snake out alongside each other, flowering in the open space of improvisation – sometimes chafe next to each other, but in ways that create a magical tension of sonic possibilities – growing to a sound that's way more than the sum of its parts.

The set features seven live improvisations – all recorded in the space of the Chicago Cultural Center in 2003
