Alto Saxophone – Mark Whitecage; Alto Saxophone, Soprano Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone – Mel Ellison; Bass, Piano – Saheb Sarbib; Drums – Paul Motian.
Although Saheb Sarbib switches between bass and piano and contributed all but one of the eight selections heard on this disc (every piece but Ornette Coleman's "Round Trip"), this live set is most notable for the saxophone solos of Mel Ellison (on alto, soprano and tenor) and altoist Mark Whitecage. With the support of drummer Paul Motian, Sarbib lays down a solid foundation for the adventurous horns. The music is quite coherent but often free, making for a stimulating listen. ~ Scott Yanow
