about

"....[A]nyone interested in investigating all that is fine about New York downtown jazz－and how it contrasts with the midtown stuff－should start right here.... Ned Rothenberg's Power Lines is an absolute classic that no other downtown CD －by John Zorn, Dave Douglas, or anybody else well-known or obscure－has ever topped. "....

Power Lines is among the earthiest, most soulful, and grooving CDs that anybody from the downtown crowd has ever released. Thanks for this must go to Rothenberg, who has an uncanny ability to compose and arrange music that hits the listener with nearly equal emphasis in all the main places that it can be felt—the body, heart, and head. Some downtowners have been accused of being overly cerebral, but certainly not Rothenberg, and certainly not here.

'In the Rotation' is nothing short of a masterpiece, with its polyrhythmic cartwheels and burrowing groove, its torrid solos, and its massed string, horn, and reed embellishments, all of which coalesce in an absolutely thrilling crescendo at the album's close. Power Lines is a pinnacle of New York downtown music." －allmusic.com

Way Back When
by John Surman

supported by 5 fans who also own “Ned Rothenberg: Power Lines”

This never saw the light of day way back in 1969…I remember seeing John Surman play many times in that period in many configurations…but perhaps not like this! It’s a wonderful find (it’s been in the Cuneiform catalogue for a good while now) but I reckon it’s worth bringing it to the fore again, especially in light of the recent Soft Machine release.
