Derek Bailey / Jamaaladeen Tacuma / Calvin Weston – Mirakle

This is the rare time where an idea that sounds like an idea that would be cool on paper but bad in reality is actually even more ridiculously good in reality than it was on paper.

This release is badly in need of a vinyl first issue, pronto.

This quite unusual association is one of the best "bad idea" producer John Zorn had in years. Unlike the missed encounters with d&b beats (on "Guitar, Drum & Bass" - Avant), this meeting beetwen the english improv guitar wizard and the now classic rythm section of Ornette Coleman's Prime Time is an unbelievable moment of telepathic real time improvisation, there's not a single moment that failed in these 70 mn of music. Everyone is absolutely focused, and we have the joy to discover that the post webernesque guitar language of Derek Bailey is utterly funky !
