The Ancestors
"Tim Berne's playing on Ancestors is fluid, warm and conveys a relaxed levity... As usual, the tunes are all Berne originals and display the sectional and harmonic structures that so much of his music seems to exhibit."
"Tim Berne's playing on Ancestors is fluid, warm and conveys a relaxed levity. For this live recording Berne enlarges his regular quartet (Mack Goldsbury, tenor sax, soprano sax; Ed Schuller, bass; Paul Motian, percussion) to include Herb Robertson (trumpet) and Ray Anderson, perhaps the finest trombonist of the past five years. As usual, the tunes are all Berne originals and display the sectional and harmonic structures that so much of his music seems to exhibit." (source: B. Rusch AllMusic.com)
Recorded live on February 19, 1983 at the School of Visual Arts, NYC. Recording Engineer: Kazunori Sugiyama
