BENNINK & TERRIE EX, HAN - THE LAUGHING OWL (CD)

"The Laughing Owl presents the proceedings of a heady musical summit: seventeen sublime, challenging duets from The Ex's guitarist, Terrie Ex & Dutch free-jazz legend Han Bennink. These gents' resumes are the stuff musical dreams are made of. The Ex's credentials as a musical entity & as human beings are simply unimpeachable. This stalwart experimental rock collective have been fearlessly doing things their own way for nearly 20 years, issuing relentless albums & touring the earth , renowned both for their integrity and intensity. Han Bennink may very well be the most accomplished, versatile & charismatic percussionist to emerge from the temperate hotbed of '60's Euro free jazz." (label info)
