about

Musician Paul Flaherty believes that the difference between pre-composed music and free-form improvisational music is a bifurcation of the mind, “The logical mind is reduced to a witness during free playing and the emotional mind is fully released.” Free from concept, outline or even leadership, the music is a free-form experience. This is realized on the newest release from Paul Flaherty (Tenor sax, alto sax) and his long-time collaborators Jim Matus (Electric guitar, Baritone guitar) and Larry Derdeyn (Keyboards). Though all of the musicians had played together in some arrangement since the 80’s, they finally joined to improvise as a trio. Decades in the making, the album came together as spontaneous compositions, represented by freeform records. The 5-track album, Wednesday Weld, will be available in CD and digital editions in July.

Pacifica Koral Reef

This record at times is the sum of its parts and the strength of its parts. At times, you can plainly tell the player from 100 yards away with your eyes closed, but then you can hear them echoing the ghosts of those who came before them. An incredibly brilliant record from 3 master blasters! pjnewman-364
