Some recordings, the world is just not ready for them when they're made. In 2008, Swedish born, Austrian resident saxophonist
Mats Gustafsson
and Poughkeepsie, New York multi-instrumentalist
Joe McPhee
made a suite of studio recordings,
Brace For Impact
that they loved so much they immediately culled, mixed, and mastered them. A decade later, when the original label for which they were planned had not yet issued them, Gustafsson and McPhee offered them to Corbett Vs. Dempsey, and when the label couldn't believe the music. As searching and searing as anything either of them has made, the duets lived up to their explosive title. Gustafsson is known for his energy, and it's here in droves, but there are other nuances brought out by McPhee, a supple sense of melodicism (hey now, Gustafsson is a Swede, so by birthright he's melodic) and the love of experimental sound-making that McPhee displayed on his sound-on-sound recordings in the late 1960s. Although the two wind-players have worked together very extensively in
Peter Brötzmann
's large groups, with McPhee as a guest in Gustafsson's band
The Thing
, and in all manner of large and small group improvisations, they have never issued a record of duets before. This duo debut, now a decade in the can, is insanely powerful. Prepare yourself for the impact. Cover image by
