Five tracks from the master free jazz drummer, three recorded with the same quintet, one a recent track where Oxley only plays electronics. Goes right to the heart of the free conundrum, where an openness to listening and creation creates a music that many find scratchy and forbidding. Oxley was beloved by Derek Bailey and Cecil Taylor for his immense intelligence and responsive skills, and there is nothing here but pure Oxley fire, alive and scrabbling through God’s pocketbook.
