I had a glance while taping it. Beautiful sounds. At one time I saw him
playing a P5 in a quasi velocity sensitive way, using a slow attack, and
varying the note length. Nice.

Although I have to say that _some_ of the free jazz tunes were a bit
hard to take (for my taste, that is). Why can't he do something like
"Twist and shout". Oops, only kidding...
All in all I'm glad there's still music beyond four-on-the-floor and
cutoff'n'resonance :-)
