"1994 set on which all the elements are here that contributed through the years to the consistently high quality of the various formulations of the SME: technical virtuosity of the performers, highly compatible styles, and utterly free improvisation where anything goes. Very British in approach this trio is a worthy extension of the SME name. Stevens performs aggressively on drums, while his trumpet is always a raw, but certain pleasure. Butcher shows a relatively early, though still impressive, side to his extraordinary abilities, while Roger Smith fits in beautifully with Stevens' concepts."
Disc has some scuffs on title side and a handful of small marks on playing surface.
