"The second in our series of CDs recorded at the DMG New Music Magic Mystery Festival at The Stone in December 2006. The final week of our festival began on Tuesday, December 26th with Raoul Björkenheim, William Parker and Hamid Drake, another first-time meeting. Raoul is a member of the explosive Scorch Trio, one of the most exciting jazz/rock/noise power trios to emerge from Scandinavia and was once in a great quartet called Krakatau (ECM). Raoul asked that we help put him together with his dream rhythm team: William and Hamid! The gig, well-attended, was explosive throughout. Raoul also played his electric viol da gamba, as well as an electric mando/guitar. Raoul looked like a kid who won the lottery and jumped around with glee, overwhelmed to be playing with two other giants who work so well together. As William and Hamid continually whipped up a rhythm storm, Raoul took one furious solo after another. Two incredible sets -- the best parts of which are captured on this CD!" -- Bruce Lee Gallanter.
