The Strange Brothers disc is a live recording from the town hall in Charlottenburg. The main title reminded me of the New York Contemporary Five by Archie Shepp 1963. Although quiet in the mood, this recording follows on directly from the recordings 14 years ago, and the New York Art Quartet of 1964/65 is alive in some places. Despite the presence Tchicais the musicians surrounding him have great freedom. Of the seven-established on the record date only two pieces of Tchicai. But modesty was always marked Tchicais music as his life.
