Uchihashi Kazuhisa & Gene Coleman Storobo Imp (False Walls / fw04)

False Walls, a young label from Chicago, presents us a rare recording of an instrument invented by Hans Reichel - the daxophone. On this disc it is performed by the ex-Ground Zero member Kazuhisa who also plays guitar and electronics. Coleman plays bass clarinet. Improvisations don't like to be named. The tracks remain untitled to suggest openness or hints of themselves - but does it grumble from all directions! Coleman juggles the tubes of his instrument and Kazuhisa sensitively plays along with him or at times tackles him. Alleged chaos appears every now and then, yet the invisible thread between the two musicians holds strong and permits a most free and delicate 'together'. Impressive.
