A spirited duo between guitarist Ava Mendoza and baritone saxophonist Dave Sewelson, moving fluidly between free improv, soulful grooves, and song-based pieces — including compositions by William Parker — with Mendoza's blues-tinged electric guitar and Sewelson's gritty saxophone and vocals creating a raw, expressive dialog that shifts from earthy lyricism to fiercely charged abstraction.

A vibrant 2014 large-ensemble performance recorded live in Nijmegen and Moers, with Fred Frith leading an extraordinary lineup including Marie Abe, Kasey Knudsen, Aaron Novik, Lisa Mezzacappa, Ava Mendoza, William Winant, Dominique Leone, Wobbly, Kaethe Hofstetter, and Jordan Glenn in dynamic, genre-blurring interpretations of his Gravity-era compositions.

A joint release between Astral Spirts and Relative Pitch, guitarist Ava Mendoza conjures five assertive and rugged "spells" performed on solo electric guitar, passionate works of raw technical skill and bold power as she improvises over two songs composed by herself, alongside pieces written for her from Devin Hoff, Trevor Dunn and John Dikeman.
