In Case The Horse Is Still Breathing

>>>Music speaks to the "thymic" part, if I am
not mistaken, the emotional cosmos, the psyche itself, if you will.<<<

According to today's NY Times, Evan Parker and Ned Rothenberg stretch beyond
thymicity as well. And, I'll be damned.....there's a literary reference:


"The first (Evan Parker duet)was with Ned Rothenberg, and it came close to
an ideal partnership. Mr. Rothenberg spent much of the set as accompanist,
interjecting notes and chords on the bass clarinet that guided the listener
harmonically through the gnarled rush of Mr. Parker's playing. You could see
the melody and the logic in it, and it was an illumination, like reading
Joyce with clear explanatory footnotes. But then he came out of his
secondary role and took the spotlight himself for a short while; instead of
Mr. Parker's leonine serenity, he played with a thicker, more athletic
sound."
