With his second release for Leo Records, Frank Gratkowski forms a synthesis
of composition and improvisation in which all the instruments/players
contribute equally in building a unified whole. The music is specially
composed by Gratkowski to showcase the extraordinary abilities of each
member of the Quartet: Walter Wierbos - trombone, Dieter Manderscheid
- bass, Gerry Hemingway - drums. FACIO is a 65 minute journey through
different territories and styles. Brilliant liner notes by Steve Day.
