about

Playful reverence acts as the adhesive in this recording. The muse is filled with chromatic color and interlocking light and shadows. This release celebrates a life of music-making from John Heward and Barre Philips, both whom were eighty-years young at the time of this concert. Other members of the quintet include: Lori Freedman, Joe McPhee and myself, Dana Reason.

Positive and negative space is the organizing principle of this improvised concert. Heward, a well-respected Canadian musician and a highly regarded visual artist leverages his conceptual imagination upon a sprawling canvas. Phillips treads beautifully amongst the waves of Heward’s rhythms. Both Freedman and McPhee create immediate intimacy with each sonorous breath.
