about

"It’s hard to imagine a more gleefully anarchic piece of music being released in 2021 than the variations on Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D Minor perpetrated on this album by Janssen and Ex. While Janssen fractures and reorganises Bach’s notes at a ridiculous speed, Ex strafes his efforts with skittering bottleneck noise before the two musicians accelerate together into a grandiose finale that includes a few seconds in which they sound as if they’re falling over each other’s feet. Ending with a pratfall thud, it’s a typical piece of ICP surrealism, being simultaneously funny and rather beautiful." -Richard Williams

"Much of the album is devoted to improvisations by subgroups that are by turns impelled by collegiality and bristling with challenge. They differ nearly as much from one another as they all do from the twice-visited, Ellingtonian pastiche, “De Linkershoen, De Rechtershoen” (The Left Shoe, the Right Shoe). While it might have been more fun to be there, sneaking drinks from the bottles on the tables while the musicians played with and provoked one another, the music’s mercurial progress is amusement enough to put a smile on your face." -Bill Meyer, Dusted Magazine

Song for the Big Chief
by Joe McPhee & Paal Nilssen-Love

supported by 4 fans who also own “Komen & Gaan”

This album was recorded on December 9, 2017, just two days after the passing of the great drummer Sunny Murray. Joe McPhee and Paal Nilssen-Love dedicate the concert to his memory, and what a tribute it is! After years of playing together in various groups, these two musicians display an interplay that borders on the telepathic. This is special, special music! 😎 Rick Mathis
