Guitarist Pierre Dorge is the odd man out in this band of Peters, including Br�tzmann (taragot, bass clarinet, saxophones), Jorgensen (drums) and Friis Nelsen (bass). It takes a lot to stand up to the mighty Br�tzmann, but while the others keep pace, Dorge seems to issue a challenge; he plays like he�s defending his name.

Dorge is also the guest on the session � previous discs by The Wild Man�s Band have seen the three Peters joined by Johannes Bauer and Mats Gustaffson. His work has circled around the classics � his New Jungle Orchestra is noted for its interpretations of Ellington and Monk � and while he�s no stranger to heavy horns (he spent two years in John Tchicai�s big band and David Murray has sat in with his group), his electric guitar here is fast, furious and free, more than keeping up with the rest of the hard-line trio.

They run through eight pieces and while at times they settle down to a simmer, they never lose pace. The risk they run with this kind of energy jazz is formlessness. Fortunately they listen enough to not wander astray.
