Evan Parker & Transatlantic Art Ensemble - Boustrophedon

Saxophonists/improvisers/composers Evan Parker and Roscoe Mitchell assembled the Transatlantic Art Ensemble from the ranks of their respective groups for a remarkable concert in Munich in 2004. Parker's often beautiful music for that occasion - its emotional character lies somewhere between Gil Evans and Luigi Nono - is featured here, with superb playing from the whole ensemble, especially by the saxophonists and pianist Craig Taborn.

Personnel:
Evan Parker (soprano saxophone), Roscoe Mitchell (alto and soprano saxophones), Anders Svanoe (alto saxophone), John Rangecroft (clarinet), Neil Metcalfe (flute), Corey Wilkes (trumpet, flugelhorn), Nils Bultmann (viola), Philipp Wachsmann (violin), Marcio Mattos (cello), Craig Taborn (piano), Jaribu Shahid, Barry Guy (double-bass), Tani Tabbal, Paul Lytton (drums, percussion)
