 ██     This is a great radio session recorded in Leverkusen,            ██
 ██     Germany, on November 14, 2000. GratHovOx embodies everything     ██
 ██     uninhibited free improv can deliver. The presence of two of      ██
 ██     the genre's most prestigious veterans certainly has              ██
 ██     something to do with it. Fred Van Hove performs most of the      ██
 ██     set on a Steinway D piano. He grabs his accordion for            ██
 ██     "Foreplay/Vorspiel." Tony Oxley produces an astounding           ██
 ██     number of different sounds from his acoustic drum kit,           ██
 ██     keeping the electronics very discreet. Between them stands       ██
 ██     reedman Frank Gratkowski, using mostly instruments from the      ██
 ██     clarinet family this time around ù his raspy alto sax makes      ██
 ██     an appearance in the 20-minute "Trenches/Tranches." The trio     ██
 ██     aims at a kind of free improvisation that leaves room to         ██
 ██     breathe and listen without getting entrenched in the sonic       ██
 ██     scrutiny of Berlin reductionism. The music has movement,         ██
 ██     grace, and moments of sheer excitement that never lose sight     ██
 ██     of the group sound ù the perfect balancing act. Highlights       ██
 ██     are numerous but nothing quite compares to                       ██
 ██     "Foreplay/Vorspiel." Gratkowski has his almighty contrabass      ██
 ██     clarinet in hand, but Van Hove is handling his accordion. To     ██
 ██     match the delicate wheezes of the squeeze box, Gratkowski        ██
 ██     decides to stick to the very upper register of the               ██
 ██     instrument. It may not sound like much but it truly is an        ██
 ██     understated tour de force. The way "Trenches/Tranches" boils     ██
 ██     down in its last five minutes to reveal tiny details in the      ██
 ██     playing of all three musicians also constitutes a moment of      ██
 ██     pure delight. Simply put, GratHovOx stands as one of the         ██
 ██     best free improv sessions released in 2002 and comes             ██
 ██     heartily recommended.                                            ██
