Mars Williams & Tollef Østvang
Chicago's Mars Williams might be most visible as a member of the Psychedelic Furs, but his career as a saxophonist is a total anomaly, spanning recordings with Hal Russell on ECM to appearances with Ministry, a featured artist slot at fable free jazz institution the Moers festival, to Grammy nominations with Liquid Soul. His duo with Norwegian drummer Tollef Østvang is suitably dynamic and peculiar, juxtaposing spacious sonic exploration with duo electricity that nods in the direction of Interstellar Space.
