Paul Hubweber, Frank Paul Schubert, Alexander von Schlippenbach, Clayton Thomas, Willi Kellers

The title's a good one – given the complex layers of sound and interaction going on here – as this avant quintet find a way to come together in these varied and compelling ways over the course of the long improvisations in the set! Pianist Alexander Von Schlippenbach may well be the biggest name in the group – but all players contribute equally, and the lineup also includes Frank Paul Schubert on alto and soprano sax, Paul Hubweber on trombone, Clayton Thomas on bass, and Willi Kellers on drums and percussion – all musicians that have an equal sense of sound and shape as they do of musicality – as you'll definitely hear on this set. Performing live at B-Flat, in Berlin, Germany in 2014, this album aptly names the intricate interactions and dialog from this sophisticated and seasoned quartet, performing extended collective compositions that showcases each player while emphasizing their group dynamic.  Includes 8 page booklet with black and white photos from the performance.  Paul Hubweber -trombone, Frank Paul Schubert -alto saxophone, soprano saxophone, Alexander von Schlippenbach -piano, Clayton Thomas -bass, Willi Kellers -drums, percussion
