Illuminations (Several Views)

Illuminations features the late German bassist Peter Kowald in a series of trio improvisations with San Francisco-based musicians Miya Masaoka and Gino Robair. The session took place during Kowald's extended US tour in 2000, which is documented in the film Off the Road. In fact, the documentary includes scenes from the studio session that spawned this CD release.

Recorded 26 April, 2000 by Myles Boisen at Guerrilla Recording. Cover art by Peter Kowald.
