Captured live at John Zorn's legendary New York venue, The Stone documents a rare reunion performance by Purple Trap — the trio of free jazz titan Rashied Ali, avant-garde guitarist Keiji Haino, and bass visionary Bill Laswell. Recorded in December 2005, seven years after the group's original sessions, this one-night performance was part of a five-day festival celebrating Haino's work, making it a singular moment in time for three of the most adventurous musicians in jazz and experimental rock.
Across seven parts, The Stone showcases the full dynamic range of these masters at work — from hushed, textural passages to explosive bursts of free rhythm and noise, driven by Ali's iconic drumming that spans delicate restraint to ferocious energy. Released on Karlrecords in 2025, this is a long-overdue document of an extraordinary night that fans of free jazz, avant-garde, and experimental music will find endlessly rewarding.
