Saxophonist Wally Shoup is a major talent on a new music scene. Drawing
equally from both free jazz and free improvisational notions of freedom, the
Wally Shoup Trio (Reuben Radding on bass and Bob Rees on drums) puts its
unique and overtly emotional stamp on a variety of spontaneous compositions.
Liberating passion from its moorings through a process of writhing
inter-play, the trio weaves sensitivity and harshness into whole-cloth
compositions with equal parts sophistication and gut-bucketry. Unhinged from
convention, the music both defines and follows its own peculiar structures,
giving the Inner Voice a chance to sing loud and clear.
Total time: 65'08.
