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.
