Lina Allemano/Dan Peter Sundland/Phil Melanson - [excerpt, part 2]

Originally this was to be a set from Ohrenschmaus, Lina Allemano's Berlin-based trio who have been on a rare Canadian jaunt, but with sickness sidelining drummer Michael Griener some last-minute improvisations were required. Phil Melanson more than ably sat in, and the group just improvised in the place of trying any of Allemano's Ohrenschmaus charts, but it was a worthy encounter regardless. Also a chance to witness the work of bassist Dan Peter Sundland, who was a joy to discover. A "full body" player, both in terms of using his full frame as well as seemingly every square inch of his long-scale Gretsch, exploring purcussive possibilities as well as plenty excellent bow work.
