Footnotes

Pygmy Twylyte - The jam starts out with Magner on the clav but quickly evolves to a bouncy electro-jazz jaunt. Barber takes over in the final minutes and builds the jam to a searing hot peak.

Vassillios - Completely different than the identical pairing two days prior. Magner instantly locks into a very electronic theme while Barber noodles around in Vassillios territory. Pretty soon, Barber links up with Magner for some full-band thematic trance-fusion. The jam builds and builds until it segues, this time smoothly, into Helicopters.

Helicopters - Magner holds remarkably close to the same theme throughout the jam. Ordinarily this might lead to staid or uninteresting improvisation, but he shifts the theme through different moods, allowing the jam to develop from somber to triumphant.
