I haven't seen anybody mention Joe Morris - not the famed NY Giants running back, but the Boston-based guitarist/bassist and faculty at the New England Conservatory. I'd have to dig around to see all that I've got of his but I know "Age of Everything" (which is great!) is guitar/bass/drums recording. I'm sure he's been in more than that, esp as he's done more than a few recordings with William Parker. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Morris_(guitarist) And also I'll chip in Mary Halvorson as a great NYC guitarist. She's usually involved in Anthony Braxton's new ensembles but her MH Trio is g/b/d and there's also her group People. Just saw her and Jessica Pavone play in an attic in Guelph and it was good shit. http://www.maryhalvorson.com/ Nice article on her and Jessica in Signal to Noise a few issues back and I think another of her groups is mentioned in a recent issue of The Wire. I don't know how hard core free jazz/avant-garde these two are considered - they're both pretty jazzy but do have an edge to their playing... The problem is that for for this kind of music, anything goes. You don't need a "classic" line-up. If all you've got is two nose-flute players and a bagpiper, you're good to go! Ted H.
