Such is his unflaggingly prolific output, that it has been hard to keep up with Sorey in the last decade. Yet it turns out that he has been performing with violinist Jennifer Curtis for a number of years, and this accomplished set suggests their live gigs must be worth the price of admission. Sorey is well-known for his ability behind the kit and at the keyboard, but Curtis, a member of the International Contemporary Ensemble, is a revelation. The breadth of her vocabulary is very impressive, and her seamless movement between western and non-western idioms, from brash, grainy bluegrass riffs to bouts of daredevil L Shankar whirls make her a suitable partner for Sorey.

Together, on eight improvised pieces, they build a head of steam, especially when Sorey is on drums, with several climactic moments coming in the their tightly interlocked rhythms. But Curtis also delivers some killer hooks on the back of her more heated solos that really command attention. On acoustic piano Sorey is pleasingly unpredictable, and his turns from dense, lingering chords to volleys of somersaulting, interval-leaping phrases at speed give the duo something of a Muhal Richard Abrams/Leroy Jenkins flavour on occasion. High energy is not the sole order of the day and the gorgeous meditation of ‘Part V1’ showcases the wide range of an inspired collaboration that deserves greater recognition, if not a booking on a stage near you.
