RUTHERFORD, PAUL - Solo In Berlin 1975

Recorded a year after his acclaimed masterpiece, The Gentle Harm of the Bourgeoisie, these three festival sets are at least as good. They find Rutherford at his most original and inventive, making wild music by enhancing his trombone with his voice, with mutes and other objects, as well as using his awesome speed and stunning range. No one else has made the trombone sound like this, before or since. 75 minutes. (5 minutes originally on an FMP sampler -- the rest is previously unissued). - Emanem
