Shipp, Dunmall, Edwards, Sanders

After the previous night of Matthew Shipp and Evan Parker, which was unexpectedly dissapointing, this evening was incredibly refreshing. Perhaps too much so at time, the intensity with which the quartet pounded forward left them with little time to explore the subtle interactions they could have with each other. Inbetween the frenetics all too brief fragments of duos shone out, illuminating the interactions between each instrumentalist, which were often lost in the rest of drive forward - not that they were not there, just lease easy to discern.

This clip catches the last few minutes of the second set.
