  • Description

    For this fourth collaboration between saxophonists Ron Caines and Martin Archer, they've concentrated on the pure, raw jazz feel of Ron's playing - a rawness which reflects Charles Parker filtered through the prism of British jazz from the 70s or thru AACM music, rather than then more polished sound of many of today's players.

    A sequence of short tracks mixes every possible combination of the players from solo through to full ensemble, with instrumental colours scattered around the canvas of what is effectively a concerto with Ron's highly individual sound at its centre.




    Ron Caines: soprano, alto & tenor saxophones.

    Martin Archer: sopranino & baritone saxophones, clarinet, flute.

    Graham Clark: violin.

    Laura Cole: piano.

    Charlotte Keeffe: trumpet.

    Chris Sharkey: electric guitar.

    Gus Garside: double bass.

    Johnny Hunter: drums
