Intuitive StructuresKevin Norton (Drums), Louie Belogenis (Tenor Saxophone), Tomas Ulrich (Cello), John Lindberg (Bass)In his liner notes, Kevin Norton comments on the music that "the focus continually changes, but all these changes are improvised"; a great example of improvising teamwork, concerned with total sonic result (and not "where do I get my solo in?"). These are some of the leader's most engaging compositions, for quintet that has both power and finesse.

Shadow Intersections WestPaul Murphy (Primary), Marco Eneidi (Alto Saxophone), Kash Killion (Cello), Paul Murphey (Drums)After 30 years it seems as though listeners are catching up to Paul Murphy, '70s avant-gardist/2000's musical artist. This is Paul's second Cadence date with Kash Killion (CJR 1147), without question one of the most electrifying Jazz/improvising cellists on the scene. Joining Paul & Kash is Paul's old associate, Marco Eneidi. Pithy, plucky, and rhythmic, this is improvisation of a close knit for careful listening.

Here he unites with Joel Futterman and Kash Killion for riveting interplay over 5 tracks. This is the beginning of an association between Paul Murphy's uncompromised music and Cadence/CIMP Records with more extraordinary developments to come.

Music from a Passionate TimeJoel Press (Soprano Saxophone), Gwendolyn Watson (Cello)Joel Press' music for "A Passionate Time" are historical recordings of collaborations with cellist Gwendolyn Watson and multi-reedist Joel Press. Utilizing multi-tracking and electronics, the music was meant as a complement to choreographers and filmmakers and reflects, as Mr. Press writes in his incisive liners, "a period dominated by the aesthetic innovations of that most passionate of times: the 1960s."
Originally presented by John Hammond to Columbia Records, they were unconvinced of its sales potential and confused by its non-specific genre category. We were not confused; we know its sales potential and its value as evocative music.

Dominic Duval's String Ensemble - Live in ConcertJason Hwang (Violin), Tomas Ulrich (Cello), Dominic Duval (Hutchins Bass), Joe McPhee (Tenor Saxophone), Mark Whitecage (Clarinet)Dominic Duval is a monster musician and—arguably better than anyone else—has bridged the gap between notated and improvised music. Here his strong group is augmented by Joe McPhee and Mark Whitecage in a live performance at the Knitting Factory.

48 MotivesGeoff Brady (Percussion), Marilyn Grispell (Piano), Vincent Davis (Percussion), Stephen Dembski (Conductor), Scott Fields (Guitar), Joseph Jarman (Alto Saxophone), John Padden (Double Bass), Hans Sturm (Double Bass), Matt Turner (Cello)Scott Fields works in highly disciplined forms. Here it’s a modern day bolero. When we first heard this we were puzzled, but, by the end, pulled in and subdued by its subtle combinations of repetition and improvisation.
