"Two people on two hot June afternoons. A studio, an experienced and appreciative engineer. A deep need to find music. Total improvisation on larger music that existed, exists and will exist as long as there are voices." - John Heward on recording Voices: 10 Improvisations, in June 2006. "Joe McPhee (pocket trumpet, alto sax). Since emerging on the creative jazz and new music scene in the late '60s and early '70s, Joe McPhee has been a deeply emotional composer, improviser, and multi-instrumentalist, as well as a conceptualist and theoretician. He has worked with musicians ranging from Peter Brötzmann to Pauline Oliveros. McPhee has recorded for numerous labels including Hat Hut, CjR, Cadence, CIMP Okkadisk, Music & Arts, and Victo. John Heward (drums, kalimba, percussion) is a Montreal-based drummer/painter/sculptor who has quietly become one of the world's leading percussionists working in the field of contemporary improvised music, new music, and avant jazz. He has played with music luminaries including David Prentice, Glenn Spearman, Malcolm Goldstein, Joe McPhee, Dominic Duval, Lisle Ellis. Paul Bley, Joe Giardullo, and many others, who have sought him out during their Canadian sojourns."
