We'd call it a hip dialogue built off (talking) drums projecting light where there is none through interactive improvisation. Or you could just sit back and enjoy the expositions and declarations of these fine improvising minds. Recorded live in June 2002 at the Montreal Jazz Fest and the Vision Fest.

SanctuaryBobby Few, Hilliard Greene, Newman Taylor Baker, Avram FeferMessrs. Few and Fefer have been collaborating since the mid 1990's but this is the first time they have recorded in Quartet and the results are strong. As Avram Fefer writes, "…a great couple days… a great piano… stimulating company." Bobby Few has been on the scene since his Ayler days of the 1960's and he represents some of the best of the classic Free period. Avram Fefer began to make a name for himself among musicians in the 1990's; he represents the rich future of this music. Here is a finished work for the discriminate and mature listener. Recorded May 7, 2005.
