    Thanks for this - I have it as part of the Harry Miller Collection - a cd box on Ogun - long out of print - unfortunately.

    It looks like Charig is aiming an adeptly pitched rasberry into what appears to be an E-flat tenor horn on the cover pic, and indeed there he is on 'Opportunities' and 'Flame Tree'.

    Thanks Nick!

    also came to this by way of the ogun box. it's miller's last recording. i believe he drove away from it and crashed and never got up again. bennink in for moholo, oddly, but he totally nails it. nailed me, too. between this and the schweizer duet I was sold for life on this guy who was previously too much of a shambles for my taste! i wonder if moholo wished he could've been there, and for more than musical reasons... such is life. if you like the breuker kollektief but with a twist of south african, do treasure this. one of the swingingest sets i ever did come cross!
