Day 3: Vision Festival 18: East West Collective

The East West collective is an ad hoc group consisting of Larry Ochs, tenor; Sylvain Kassap, clarinets; Xu Fengxia, guhzeng; Didier Petit, bass; Miya Masaoka.

I'm a big Larry Ochs fan, so was glad to get a chance to see him. Kassap was quite interesting, maybe a little tentative during the performance (I picked up some of his CDs for a closer listen). French bassists seem to come with eccentricities, and Petit was certainly no exception, as you will see from the last video. I enjoyed this set.
