  1. I tried to find this one, capitulated and got the cd version which has a couple of extra tracks from early 2000s without Jo Maka. He's also on several of the Intercommunal records I've posted, for those who want to check back. Fall and Few are still out and about, happy to say.

  4. Thank You Nick! Lovely engaging music! A very well recorded record too which is always pleasant (and not often always the case for such small independent labels as "Free Lance").

    Of course, this is in addition to your (always) excellent vinyl transferring skills! (Your rips are always *clean* sounding, but also 'transparent': true to the original source without unnecessary additional processing to the sound.)

    The piano (especially) seems to have been recorded properly here benefiting Bobby Few greatly.

    I've always been a fan of Few's playing style(s). He reminds me of a less exuberant Don Pullen, which is high praise from me as Don Pullen is my favorite improvising pianist.

    But unlike Igor, i could do without the superfluous vocals. ;-)

  5. Thanks Dandor. I have been responsible for some pretty horrible rips along the way, but have got better with practice. I enjoy the trio and quartet on this one.
