One of the last recordings from bassist Peter Kowald before his unexpected death in 2003. Trio with Bay Area players Miya Masaoka (koto) and Gino Robair (percussion). The CD is a varied and rolling session of short improvisations, a really good example of what can be done with spontaneity among three expert players. Some tracks (like the one I played here) also include Tuvan throat singing by Kowald.
