He and Taylor command the remaining ten minutes of the performance as the piece shifts in tempo, Lyons and Malik and Sirone abruptly moving in and out of focus...
"[3] Phil Freeman, in an article for Burning Ambulance, wrote: "The first piece, 'The Eel Pot,' begins with solo piano, followed quickly by the entry of Malik and Lyons (playing unison phrases) and then Ameen.
The next player to re-enter after this thunderous passage is Ameen, offering almost Bela Bartók-like stabs as though to pay tribute to the concert's central European location.
Eventually, the full ensemble returns to roaring life, and the piece comes to a raucous close, celebrated by wild applause from what sounds like a large audience...
Around the 11-minute mark, Jackson bursts into a particularly aggressive drum solo, smashing the cymbals and battering the snare, as Malik's trumpet unleashes a repeated, fanfare-like figure.
When Taylor takes the lead, his playing is often quite delicate; during one quiet passage, he and Ameen duet totally unaccompanied, and it's possibly the album's high point.
