Points, Snags and Windings
   John Butcher (tenor & soprano saxophones)
   Dylan van der Schyff (percussion)

Beautiful new improvisational duets.  Butcher is very comfortable working in the duet and when teamed with van der Schyff, the result if a continuous development of the phrases and resolutions.  Music for the mind and soul.
