Deep Telling

First studio meeting of Joe Morris and the DKV Trio (Hamid Drake/percussion, Kent Kessler/bass & Ken Vandermark/reeds). “The music on this recording began with the most basic materials: sound, silence, motion, interval, duration and emotion. We started to play without any words, written material or agreed structure and within a couple of minutes we knew it would work. Our agenda seemed to be that we would musically talk with each other. We told each other what we know. We played to make something different, to create another experience for whomever listens. It remains to personal interpretation, to be described by the people who listen.” —Joe Morris
