  3. I have been looking for this record a very long time.Have you ever heard his duet records with Anthony Braxton or Cecil Taylor ? They are worth the effort and expense of finding them.I enjoy duet records with drums or bass because they really have to know their instrument to keep a listners attention for 40+ minutes is alot harder than it looks.Thanks for sharing this gem of a recording

  4. Hi Neroon001!
    You're welcome. Thanks for leaving your comment.
    Unfortunately I don't have a single record of Anthony Braxton and only two albums from Cecil Taylor: "Nefertiti, the Beautiful One..." and "One Too Many Salty Swift...". But I'll take your precious advice as soon as possible.
    I'll also post in a near future some more interesting duet records such as Aldo Romano/Joe Lovano's "Ten Tales"; Steve Coleman/Dave Holland's "Phase Space" or Gary Peacock/Bill Frisell's "Just So Happens".
    So keep on dropping by...

    Cheers!
