Multi-instrumentalist Mateen made his recording debut with Horace Tapscott's Pan African People's Arkestra over two decades ago.  After years of heavy dues paying in the subways of NYC, Mateen is now a luminous presence on the American improvised music scene, as part of TEST, the One World Ensemble, Tenor Rising, Sunny Murray's bands, the Raphe Malik Quartet, and other free-blowing enterprises.

Laurence Cook and John Voigt forged their concepts in the more recondite seams of the post-Ayler universe: Lowell Davidson, Alan Silva, Bill Dixon. Presently they are part of the Jemeel Moondoc Trio.
