Weasel Walter

"This was the first time this group ever met, and the first time I ever played with Seth and Alex. The first notes you hear on the CD were the first we ones we played together. I think it's obvious from what transpires, that free improvisation is alive and well.

On a technical level, I think the recording quality is excellent and this was one of the easiest mixes I've ever done in terms of nailing all the tones. The first draft was the one we used here - no revisions were needed. There are duo and trio outtakes from the session, but we all agreed to let the quartet takes stand on their own. In particular, Damon's bass really shines here, given equal presence and clarity in the mix.

I'm not really asked to do free improvisation very much at this point in history, so if and when I do it, it has to be special. I believe this is the case with this release."
