Title: a panoramic aural experience
Product review: there are no themes here so there are no variations, and without themes there is nothing to improvise. cecil taylor has passed through this musical territory from time to time, and don pullen has skirted the borders, but this isn't avant garde or free jazz. there have been pioneers, mahler, harry partch and quite a few 19th century pianists/composers, so only (kind of) traditionally can streaming be considered experimental music. keith jarrett has visited the territory. settlers have been anthony braxton and anthony davis, check out his middle passage. that's about as close as i want to get with a description of abrams' streaming.this is a highly sophisicated cd, an extraordinary achievement. and i like the terse statements, mostly on the art of improvisation, by the players george russell, roscoe mitchell and abrams for linear notes.and i also like the cover painting by muhal richard abrams.
