Yes, I thought about going, but couldn't find a babysitter. And finally just forgot about it.
On the other hand I also wonder if it's absolutely necessary that Mats Gustafsson has to play so loud all the time, it's becoming a bit like Mr Brotzman who also uses the same way of pummeling the listener into submission.
Hi Joe, A pity indeed. Yes, power playing was indeed there all the time, but often in good balance with quieter moments. But that's part of the fun: the uncompromising attitude.
I saw, The Thing earlier this year,but without Mats-just Joe McPhee on reeds,and was happily surprised.They sounded better than ,The Thing w/Mats (too garish for my taste),and more 'sophisticated' than,Trio X,but the 'life-changing' concert of the year was ,Michael Pisaro,Greg Stuart,et al. Maybe,'not jazz',but something like it,something NEW:Progress.
