"While buckleheaded fascists continue to try and stop the progressive roiling of the essential ecstatic impulse that lurks in us all, Flaherty and Corsano negate their every thrust with gorgeous parries of sheer emotional intellect." - BYRON COLEY Together, Chris Corsano and Paul Flaherty have re-written the concept of modern free jazz with their post-hardcore punk approach of euphoric togetherness. Ferocious, spontaneous, explosive, and aggressively lyrical, they've established their groundbreaking duo with loads of shows and a host of tremendous recordings. When tales of C. Spencer Yeh's Burning Star Core project reached Corsano and Flaherty, the duo was eager to see him jam. Fortunately, fate brought them together at the DeStijl/Freedom From Festival, where Corsano and Flaherty were playing in the Dream/Aktion Unit (with Thurston Moore) and Yeh was playing with Burning Star Core. His performance caught Corsano and Flaherty on fire, and Yeh's temperature was raised (literally) when he suddenly came down with the flu after his show. Fortunately for Yeh, Flaherty packed him in ice in the festival hall basement, and a solid relationship was forged. Lives were saved. Jams ensued. The power trio of Flaherty/Corsano/Yeh was formed.
