A boisterous live set from Andrew Barker, Daniel Carter, and Sabir Mateen, recorded in Atlanta on May 3, 2002. The band members have played together in plenty of other outfits (Carter and Mateen are frequent collaborators, most prominently in Test, Barker and Carter have a duo record on Qbico, Mateen and Barker both play in William Parker's Little Huey Creative Music Orchestra, etc.), and everyone sounds on sure footing here. The second side of the LP is especially lively, complete with some rambunctious vocals that would probably appeal to fans of Sabir Mateen's LP with Matthew Heyner and David Nuss (Light Comes from the Front on s@1), or Test's "what R U going 2 due?!" from their CD on AUM Fidelity. This is a limited edition Italian import LP, pressed up on smoke-colored vinyl. Beautiful cover photo, too. We've got only a couple copies in stock.

Credits:
Andrew Barker: drums, jawharp
Daniel Carter: flute, trumpet, saxophones, voice
Sabir Mateen: clarinets, saxophones, voice

For this project, Qbico Records brought together a bunch of open-minded musicians from a multitude of backgrounds and generations, with the objective of everyone coming together for a collective throw-down.  Side B is a notable hoot.  Recorded live at Tonic on March 18, 2004.  Found a couple more of these, very last copies. 

“Thunderously heavy two LP set from Qbico documenting a night in New York where some of the hardest working lungs still in the service of liberated fire - Arthur Doyle, Perry Robinson, Daniel Carter, Charles Waters, Shanir Ezra Blummenkranz and Andrew Barker - plotted various tactical formations with brains of a whole other order, including Ed Wilcox of Temple Of Bon Matin, Nuuj of Pengo/Asthmatic, Dave Cross Of Coffee, Leslie Q and Vinnie Paternostro. Freely-improvised avant-guerilla spurt in the spirit of the LAFMS/MEV and avant/rock coalitions like BAG. First time Doyle has played together with Robinson and Carter since the loft-scene days of the 1970s... Comes in absurd full-colour gatefold sleeve with poem from Steve Dalachinsky.” – David Keenan, The Wire / Volcanic Tongue

“Double LP set documenting two Qbico hosted nights in Denmark that featured a big band free jazz wig-out led by saxophonist Daniel Carter (Test/Other Dimensions In Music et al) and featuring Vin Paternostro on soprano sax, Marc Gade on tuba, Pernaus Salon on recorder, soprano sax and clay flute 'Qbico' on balalaika, vocals, percussion and violin and Ed Wilcox (Temple Of Bon Matin et al) on drums and harmonica.  There's also some premier trio blats led by Carter alongside Paternostro and Wilcox that succeeds in raising the roof and a particularly massive side-long work from Denmark's own Family Underground.” – Volcanic Tongue
