Mat Walerian: alto saxophone, bass clarinet, clarinet, flute; Matthew Shipp: piano; Hamid Drake: drums, percussion. Recorded November 19, 2012, at the Okuden Music concert series. From William Parker's liner notes: "Stepping into the Silence, this is literary music, epic little bouts of brilliance. That expands and stretches across what you might call instant reality, the lining or other side of the cosmic blanket where ordinary yet extraordinary people live; it swings and is balanced, it knows where to stop and begin again. It Bees and it Bops, it is and isn't at the same time, but the main thing is they don't scream -- not that the scream and the shout are bad. It's that you have to play inside your destiny rather than a musical style. It's all about playing free instead of asking others for freedom, so I celebrate Drake, Shipp, and Walerian for choosing life over music. Choosing intuition over tradition."

The most refreshing music I have heard in a long time from a trio of great musicians. Don't just take my word for it ...
Superb 2cd set of adventurous, exciting, yet very listenable free playing. The most refreshing music I have heard in a long time from a trio of great musicians. Don't just take my word for it - William Parker no less says " the music does not need these words to exist, it only needs your ears". Give your ears the opportunity and let them do the rest .........
