When For Tune asked to record These Arches’ Warsaw Jazz Summer Days 2012 set for a live release, I saw an opportunity to write new music for the band - nothing like a paying gig to justify rehearsals to learn new music! I wrote the extended piece International Hoohah in a couple of weeks, rehearsed it with Mary and Andrea who happened to be in NYC, then the three of us I met Tony and Tim in Warsaw to work on the music. I was pleased with the way it turned out: a high-quality recording of music which is by turns fragile, assertive, and bizarre. The vibe on the new pieces complimented the self-assured way we played the music we were already familiar with.

Fire House Records has a catalogue of outstanding releases and this fits the bill perfectly by the sound of this initial track...there is power here and, yes, an irreverence for any kind of safety net...tremendously committed ensemble playing on display... John Cratchley

It's almost hard to believe there's any space for Tim to fit in when they play this stuff as a duo! The magical uber-complex counterpoint flowing from and resolving to the killer tunes has a similar feel to the full band Berne but these are clarifying in their complexity - you can understand all the moving parts on the same level. Also perhaps the best showcase of Mr Mitchell's solo skills I've heard - he's fully in his element! Giles
