It is definitely more "ECM" than some of his other efforts on the label. It even has a cello instead of a bass! You've probably heard, but my favourite playing of his as a sideman is The Rub and Spare Change. I am hot and cool with Tim Berne, but that is a phenomenal album.
Speaking of, not sure how much you dig ECM but have you listened to the new Taborn album?

That makes perfect sense. Almost too many panels this year--I hardly bumped into anyone from the China field, unfortunately. I evacuated Harvard years ago (currently living in Montreal) but will be heading to Yale for a postdoc starting in the fall. You are probably unaware of this, but your
