supported by

Ross Field My goodness, such wonderful music, and, recorded by Malachi Ritscher, the man that did so much to get this early-scene Chicago jazz out into the internet. I miss Malachi, and I'm sure the scene does, too. He led with his heart.

about

Catalytic Sound continues its monthly CAA fundraising program this October with 'Prime numbers' by Paul Lytton, Joe McPhee & Ken Vandermark. All fund will go to Doctors Without Borders. Every day, DWB teams deliver emergency medical aid to people in crisis, with humanitarian projects in more than 70 countries.

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) offers medical humanitarian assistance to people based solely on need, irrespective of race, religion, gender, or political affiliation. Their teams of doctors, nurses, logisticians, and other frontline workers are often among the first on the scene when peoples’ lives are upended by conflict, disease outbreaks, or natural or human-made disasters.

Two masters who have gone far beyond free improv cliches and tropes to reach a space where the exploration sounds totally relaxed and natural, even at its most intense. This music makes me feel reassured, in safe hands, and joyful. Giles
