The longstanding collaboration of cornetist Bobby Bradford and reedist Frode Gjerstad with bassist Ingebrigt Haker-Flaten on bass and Frank Rosaly on drums recording at Philadelphia Art Alliance in 2014, a powerful lineup of modern free players. Gjerstad and Bradford have a 30 year history, having been introduced by John Stevens, who played with them in early editions of Detail. Haker-Flaten suggested the addition of Chicago drummer Frank Rosaly, as their usual go-to drummer Paal Nilssen-Love was unavailable; his playing is an excellent complement to the band, bringing his unique voice to the quartet. Over 3 extended tracks this band delivers an amazing range of skill and creative ideas.
