A modern, if perhaps overlooked, gem from the OWN catalog of FMP releases. This sparkling free date features guitar, horn, and percussion, with each member of the trio contributing an extended suite of songs. Sharing some similarities with Tim Berne's contemporaneous Big Satan, the group ranges from delicate unison statements to a mighty squall — always in the service of a unified sonic statement. Freedom of Speech: now more than ever.

REVIEWS

"Here is hard-driving free Jazz at its finest. The disk consists of three suites, Schröder’s (three-piece) 'Freedom of Speech', Jenneßen’s (four-piece) 'Die Outisten', and Walsdorff’s (five-piece) 'Round Kisses.' The predominantly free tunes range from soft and gentle to full-throttle, Tayloresque hammering, but the quality is consistently high and the blazing intelligence always evident."
—Cadence

"Now this is free jazz. 'Free' because each of the instruments here — John Schröder's guitar and piano, Henrik Walsdorff's alto saxophone, and Uli Jenneßen's drums and percussion instruments — are liberated from their defined roles as melody, rhythm, and harmony instruments, and are instead placed in open association with one another... Each player assumes responsibility not only for himself but for the others in the ensemble sections, while marking out a space that he offers as an entrance to the other members of the band to enter into and dialogue with him in improvisation, turning the body of music into an open ground of freely associated, wildly swinging, and joyous free jazz. This is an astonishing date full of energy; raw, unmitigated musical ideas; and the transformation of sound into the language of jazz."
—Thom Jurek, All Music Guide

Watashi Dake?
by Keiji Haino

supported by 4 fans who also own “Freedom of Speech”

Definitely different from his more recent collaboratively ethereal and leisurely LP's, this is a crepitating, sparsely textured album that sounds like a peregrine mixture of Whitehouse eeriness, Diamanda Galas, and the first Sonic Youth LP if it was played by Jandek. A fascinating LP that is best played at very loud volumes lying on the sofa after a few Fernet Branca's. brantly
