ROVA (Bruce Ackley on soprano, tenor saxophonist Larry Ochs, baritonist Jon Raskin and Andrew Voigt on alto and sopranino) perfectly balances advanced arranged sections with dynamic individual and group improvising on this consistently stimulating set. They perform two Raskin originals, a piece by Voigt, a group improvisation ("Sportspeak") and an early Anthony Braxton work. The results reward repeated listenings by open-minded avant-garde collectors. ~ Scott Yanow
