Proper recognition for this musical innovator is long overdue. ýMatchbook` is a masterpiece, just like ýSolstice` (hauntingly beautiful), ýDiary`, and his amazing work in the Oregon environment (Iýve been listening to ýOut of the Woods` for more than 20 years).
Just one more thing: Ralph Townerýs ýBatik`, w/ Jack DeJohnette and Eddie Gomez, is one of the greatest trio recordings of all time. The highly dynamical interplay is pure magic! And itýs only available through ECM Europe!
