about

"Throes Are The Only Trouble" features fleet, extroverted free improvisations by this multi-generational New York City based quartet featuring Michael Foster (saxophones), Steve Swell (trombone), Brandon Lopez (bass) and Weasel Walter (drums). Building on the free jazz tradition of muscular instrumental interplay and pushing beyond it with extended techniques and bouts of pure abstraction, this album powers along with deft articulation, space and communication.
