Second Sight
Whenever the term “Free Jazz” gets mentioned, the same questions more or less present themselves: “Is this easy to listen to?” “Is there structure, or is this just a few friends playing over each other?” “Is this another Coleman/Taylor/Dolphy homage?” Yes; yes; maybe—who cares?

From Here to Ear (v.25), the twenty-fifth incarnation of a work that has been continuously reinventing itself since 1999, captures the ephemeral essence of what Céleste Boursier-Mougenot calls "living music" - where birds settle on the strings of instruments as if they were wires between city roofs or branches of a tree. There…
