EVAN PARKER | BARRY GUY | PAUL LYTTON ft. JOE McPHEE — The Redwood Session (1996) Spirit Room Series – Vol.1 | FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

This live set was the initial release by the mostly avant-garde CIMP label. Evan Parker (on soprano and tenor) interacts with bassist Barry Guy and drummer Paul Lytton on four lengthy, free sound explorations. Parker generally dominates, achieving a wide variety of sounds out of his horns. The closing "Then Paul Saw the Snake" is the actual high point because trumpeter Joe McPhee sits in, making the trio a dynamic quartet and the music a little more accessible. Those listeners with very open ears should find this set of interest. Scott Yanow
