Great, great band, The Engines...this live recording (The Green Mill, Chicago) just hits the sweet spot continuously...
The playing, the improvising, the interplay, the energy and the verve just don't get better than this for me...all Ken Vandermark associates, all quality guaranteed composers.
Lots of exceptional stuff on this label (Dave Rempis' Aerophonic Records) too...check it all out, it's worth your time and effort. John Cratchley
I love these guys! I am so happy that they also like to perform in Moscow and we have the opportunity to hear them live))
This is a many-sided album, not only free-jazz, not only jazzcore, but also modern jazz, free improvisation and experimental music. So expressive, energetic, and musical album!
It is important to add that this Web-release contains 4 bonus tracks (solo improvisations of all musicians & 'Round About Lapa') that makes the album to be more than just the best album of the year )) Olga Kivius
