"Recorded at the Seaside Lounge in August of 2014 . . . All three of these seasoned musicians have large resumes: Vinny Golia plays & collects more reed instruments than most other saxists, hails from L.A. and teaches at UCLA. Master drummer and No Wave historian, Weasel Walter, has worked with many other legends (Lydia Lunch, Henry Kaiser, Hal Russell), does a job of mixing and mastering for many . . . Considering that this is a live recording, Mr. Walter’s mixing & mastering talents really do make this trio sound larger-than-life. It sounds like Mr. Golia begins on baritone sax, with Mr. Johnson bowing those low-end notes bristling like a powerful undertow. Weasel is also an incredible, soul-stirring, powerful drummer, completely focused no matter how free the music is. “Cellular Angst” starts off with just the drums and Weasel is in strong form,just by himself before the bass enters, both players buzzing together. When Golia enters on sopranino, the trio hits that sprawling Trane-like free-wheeling whirlwind intensity. Mr. Golia’s sopranino playing is extraordinary, spiraling higher and at a furious death-defying pace. Golia switches to B-flat clarinet for “The Clarinet” piece, the tempo slows down while the trio play some more spacious improv, working together in tight orbits. I love the way Mr. Walter’s drums sound on “Iban”, starting off on cowbell, the trio escalating & accelerating higher as they soar together. This entire disc is Free Music at its best, tightly executed and superbly recorded and balanced just right. A long lost gem!"
