"The habits of compositional structure are so
ingrained in the players that even on the tabula rasa
of free improv, they create order and beauty rather
than chaos. The rhythmic characteristics of swing and
the textural qualities of the blues also inform their
playing, but in the widest possible terms, not in the
literal Lincoln Center way. The music has a gritty
immediacy and a compelling propulsive feel even at its
most abstract."  -  Ed Hazell, Boston Phoenix.

Lisle Ellis — acoustic bass
Originally from Canada, Lisle Ellis is best known for
his 20 year asssociation with pianist Paul Plimley,
and more recently for his performances in the Cecil
Taylor Unit. Under his own name, a 1993 release
entitled Elevations (Victo) was on many top CD lists
for that year. He has also recorded on Music and Arts
and Hat Art. His most recent recording as a leader is
Children in Peril (Music + Arts, 1998). 

Donald Robinson — drums
Since 1971, drummer Donald Robinson has worked with
many of the well known leaders in contemporary jazz
including Oliver Lake, Cecil Taylor, John Tchicai,
Raphe Malik, George Lewis, Anthony Braxton, and Glenn
Spearman. In the early seventies he studied in Paris
with Kenny Clarke and Alan Silva. Robinson, as well as
Ochs and Ellis, are members of The Glenn Spearman
Double Trio,which has toured in Canada and Europe
since 1992., recording 3 CDs for Black Saint. As well,
