Disc one, "Focus, ThruTime Time" features Chicago tenor saxophone titan Fred Anderson in his first release with Abrams despite a history going back over fifty years. It is sadly also perhaps the final recording of Anderson, who passed away in 2010 at the age of 81. The second, "SoundDance", features Abrams with the laptop and trombone of George Lewis, the composer and MacArthur Fellow who is well known for his innovative work in interactive computer music. The performances place Abrams in two very different situations: His duo with Anderson finds him in a more familiar acoustic setting, while the one with Lewis finds him negotiating through a vast array of acoustic and electronic sound textures. Both performances are unfettered by traditional song structure and represent the height of spontaneous artistic invention.Artist: Muhal Richard AbramsEAN: 0808713003727Country/Region of Manufacture: USALanguage: EnglishRelease Year: 2011 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
