The work is a bit more open and spacious than previous dates by both players together -- almost introspective at times, with Sharrock in an especially restrained mode that's often more lightly textural in sound alongside Brotzmann's exploratory reeds. Sonny's got that really unique tone of his throughout -- a raspy, almost gritty sound that's still quite bracing, even when gentle -- and the performance is possibly especially noteworthy as one of the early appearances in a long run of great ones by Brotzmann in Chicago!
