Once again our superheros Thomas Heberer and Yoni Kretzmer align their minds for yet another display of their musical oneness; this time in collaboration with Swiss bass innovator Christian Weber: It’s BIG, baby!
Recorded at the famed Systems Two in Brooklyn by legendary engineer Joe Marciano, after the trio had played together over a period of six months in and around New York City, this recording is a testimony to the magic of improvised music in the hands of today’s best artists.

This record has such a magical flow to it, it seems to capture so directly the ups and downs of life, the joy of music and dance, and it's just so damn catchy and fun to listen to as well. Giles
Total mastery of patience, time, and drama create a constantly engaging journey that never gets tiresome or same-y: in fact the harder you listen the better it gets! Somehow Sorey et al. find a way to combine the deep listening and spontaneous interaction of the best jazz with the sense of every tone and sound being worth a universe of listening, which could be equally from Cage and Feldman or the accompaniment to an ancient ritual.
The recording/engineering is absolutely perfect as well. Giles
It’s hard to say exactly what SIM CARD HØLDER is, but on this LP, it plunges you deep into a terrifying world of shadow and space. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 29, 2021

This is a beautiful duet performance!
Thanks for making this available, Mark.
On par with the excellent NU.
Hopefully you have one of the trio with Redman and Blackwell.
Had to listen to this twice tonight. jeffrey maurer
