SUSAN ALCORN, PATRICK HOLMES, RYAN SAWYER - Live from Union Pool

"This adventurous set captures a concentrated instance of collective spontaneity, sustaining its momentum with remarkable consistency from the outset. Susan Alcorn’s pedal steel work is especially striking, combining textural sophistication with virtuosic fluency, while Ryan Sawyer’s propulsive percussion and Patrick Holmes’ agile clarinet maintain a dynamic and tightly responsive interplay. The result is a compelling study in high-energy free improvisation, distinguished by its sustained intensity, structural coherence, and finely attuned ensemble communication."
