about

As the title suggests this is something of an evolutionary leap for the largely electronic, studio based duo of Archer and Jasnoch. Here, an expanded ASK plays a live set of five lengthy, untitled improvisations, using exclusively acoustic instrumentation. It's a setting which seems to encourage some of the most "conventional" playing heard from Archer in a long time, and a definite nod toward the iconic peregrinations of Anthony Braxton: with its vibraphone tinkering and guttural alto bursts, the opener could almost be a lost cut from Braxton's This Time. There are plenty of delightful, spontaneous flowerings throughout - such as Archer's bluesy lick that takes off three minutes into the second piece or Jasnoch's middle eastern oud plucking joined by a slithering sopranino six minutes into track three. For admirers of both European improv and old-school Chicago free-jazz, this one is a must. - Daniel Spicer, Jazzwise
