From the opening piece by master drummer Ra Kalam Bob Moses and a dynamite Danish band to the closer by a 1990 free jazz trio from Japan, this show really touches so many nooks and crannies of improvised music. There’s a killer big band from Norwegian drummer Gard Nilssen’s Supersonic Orchestra, never-before-released music by Sam Rivers from his special stash of music, a fine quintet from Buenos Aires led by bassist Nacho Szulga, eclectica from Quartet Ajaton from Finland, guitar power from Poland’s Marek Malinowski, and free-improv from the likes of Nate Wooley, Laura Toxvaerd and Barry Guy. There’s even some Buddy Guy. Hope you like this one.
