Details:
"By treating John Cage''s indeterminate scores as charts to improvise from, Katchie Cartwright and Richard Oppenheim have literally turned John Cage''s ideas upside down. Cage is rumored to have hated jazz, but this new disc should make anyone fall in love with John Cage." - Frank Oteri, NewMusicBox
"An original look through Mr. Cage''s window - he would love it. This recording is a must for both jazz folks and others with interests left of center!" - Allen Strange, composer
"Beautifully played." - The Wire
