Parker has developed the possibilities of unpremeditated music more deeply than almost anyone, creating a personal vocabulary that is simultaneously instantly recognizable and adaptable to the most varied of situations.

“An ideal partnership.” - Ben Ratliff, New York Times

“The way each anticipates the others moves is uncanny. It’s a cliche, but the precise entanglement of their lines is nothing less than a tapestry of sound.” - Peter Margasak, Chicago Reader

“(Rothenberg)’s recent duets with Evan Parker demonstrated the kind of deep mischief he’s capable of. You’ll be entertained - his improvs are compelling on many levels. And you’ll understand how dedication to craft can nurture larger questions of art and approach.” - Jim Macnie, Village Voice

“A hugely exciting encounter that should utterly floor fellow saxophonists”. John Corbett, Downbeat
