"This brings us to the beautiful afternoon of October 16, 1999: the duet concert with Oluyemi Thomas, the magical mystery man from the West Coast. just the bass of Alan Silva & the bass clarinet & c-melody sax of Thomas in the Unitarian Church in Amherst, MA. First silence, & then the sound of string-lines, the idea that all string instruments live somewhere inside the bass fiddle, & from time to time they come out to speak to us. I have always asked the question what would a bass clarinet or c-melody saxophone sound like if the wind blew through it. When i listen to Oluyemi Thomas, i get my answer. This music is a prayer. A conversation that is just as much inward as it is external. So activate your third ear. Try to hear the voice of the earth house/ the trance/the formation & transformation of matter." -- William Parker
