Jim O’Rourke & Mats Gustafsson / XYLOPHONEN VIRTUOSEN

Jim O’Rourke teams up with Swedish improv master Mats Gustafsson on this bumped-up reissue of a classic 1999 set. Gustaffson’s mostly on tenor sax and flute and O’Rourke’s on guitar and accordion – together they infect each other’s sounds (O’Rourke’s melancholy deconstructed Americana splatter, and Gustaffson’s post-Brötzmann skronk) with back-n-forth levity and animation.
