Description
Saxophonists/improvisers/composers Evan Parker and Roscoe Mitchell assembled the Transatlantic Art Ensemble from the ranks of their respective groups for a remarkable concert in Munich in 2004. Parker's often beautiful music for that occasion - its emotional character lies somewhere between Gil Evans and Luigi Nono - is featured here, with superb playing from the whole ensemble, especially by the saxophonists and pianist Craig Taborn.
