With Michael Moore (clarinet, bass clarinet, alto saxophone), Cor Fuhler (piano, keyolin, hammond organ), Tristan Honsinger (cello). Recorded in Köln, Feb, 1999. "This trio's working method does not copy any of the umpteen bands these musicians have worked in of late -- not ICP nor Clusone 3 (Moore) nor Cecil Taylor's units (Honsinger) nor the trio Fuhler/de Joode/Bennink. The combination of musical ingredients is specific to this combination of players. All of them have the capacity to play pretty and to make rude sounds. Micheal has an irresistible bittersweet sound on alto or clarinet, which never gets cloying because it's no end in itself, but a vehicle for musical ideas. Tristan is unafraid to introduce lyrical material into an open improvisation -- although his cello sound is less conventionally pretty, very idiosyncratic -- and is just as ready to scrape up trouble when things get complacent. He's a born agitator." -- Kevin Whitehead.
