Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
The same as the CD version above, but without the jewel box.
If you have no need of the somewhat unloved and increasingly old-fashioned jewel box, we will send you the disc and all paper parts from the CD, without the plastic box.
The price is the same (we don't really need any more empty jewel boxes!), but it should offer you significant savings on shipping, especially if you order several discs and/or are outside Europe.

N.B. This album dates from the early days of digital recording. Like most musicians at that time, we were thrilled to have the possibility of capturing our full dynamic range on tape, with minimal compression. History has subsequently proved that for most people the domestic listening environment does not sit comfortably with a true reflection of the dynamic range present in performance - so we will probably remaster this and similar recordings at some point to reflect current thinking. In the meantime, just turn up the volume control to get the full glory!
"Wilkinson is a saxophonist whose work is on a par with Charles Gayle, David Ware, Peter Brötzmann or any of the other heavyweight reedmen who are still playing hard and free. I can think of many young American conservatives who would do well to have their heads shoved deep into the bell of his baritone for a season or two."
Byron Coley FORCED EXPOSURE
"An essential record. Very fine; an outstanding record that yields consistent pleasure and demands a place in any comprehensive collection."
THE PENGUIN GUIDE TO JAZZ ON LP, CD & CASSETTE
"Involvement and intensity, invention and insurrection.....manna from heaven.....Superb."
Ben Watson HIFI NEWS & RECORD REVIEW
"Spontaneous music of a scorching and unrelenting intensity.....conversational music of the most intuitive eloquence.....unquenchable energy.....There probably isn't such a thing as state-of-the-art free music, but as a term of convenient endearment, it's close enough."
John Fordham THE GUARDIAN
"They left the audience in a state of shock. Whiteheat improvisation, full throttle free jazz out of Archie Shepp 1969, but somehow more so: more venom, more noise, more discord, more evil heat.....simultaneous musicality and cathartic excess.....we are talking the essence of what makes jazz great here."
Ben Watson THE WIRE
Bruce's Fingers is a record label founded in 1983 by bassist, composer & improviser Simon H. Fell.
The label's
publications (which also include books and scores) are centred around free / contemporary jazz, improvised music & contemporary / experimental composition.
Initially focussed on Fell's own work, the BF project has since expanded to include many other things besides......more
I don't think I've ever experienced a more profound feeling of being guided by an unseen force than the day we recorded this 70-minute piece of complex and challenging music in one exhilarating take. Bruce's Fingers
Essential listening. Don't think "string trio," instead ready yourself for a wide swath of sounds that seem to come from as-yet-invented instruments. thirduncle801
