In a remarkable example of uncanny group-think, pianist-keyboardist and RareNoise regular Jamie Saft (Metallic Taste of Blood, Slobber Pup, Plymouth, Saft, Swallow and Previte, Wadada Leo Smith) joins with longtime collaborators Trevor Dunn on bass and Balázs Pándi on drums and master trombonist Roswell Rudd on the astounding, purely improvised Strength&Power.
Recorded live in Saft’s home studio near Woodstock, New York, this intergenerational offering features the 44-year-old pianist, 47-year-old bassist, 32-year-old Hungarian drummer and 80-year-old avant garde pioneer blending organically, telepathically on a set of conversational music running the gamut of dynamics and emotions.
