Recorded live on January 3, 2012 at Peter Karl Studios in the Gowanus Arts Building, Brooklyn, NY, Gowanus Sessions II brings together three remarkable improvisers: pianist Thollem McDonas, legendary bassist William Parker, and guitarist Nels Cline. Released on the storied ESP-Disk' label in 2020, this album captures a singular moment of free jazz exploration from three musicians at the height of their creative powers.
The trio's interplay is marked by a rare combination of restraint and intensity, with hushed passages giving way to harrowing sonic landscapes. As noted by All About Jazz, "lucid imagery remains a continuum as the trio's linear onslaughts intimate harrowing backdrops, abetted by Parker's creaky and ominously designed phrasings." Fans of adventurous, free-spirited jazz — particularly in the tradition of artists like Cecil Taylor — will find this a deeply rewarding listen.
