Several not-so-well-known west coast improv players get together & blow, through straws of course. Sometimes they try to imitate Evan Parker (which, through a straw, sounds like a squirrel being strangled), but the group's at their best when they haul off & tackle a song (Burt Bacharach, Henry Mancini, JS Bach). Straws aren't especially easy to play, so not everybody gets to the same spot in the song at the same time, and the furry polyphony is ecstatic & silly. Also a great addendum to Hans Reichel's daxophone records. Tracklisting: Marines Hymn, Happy Piece #2, The Days of Wine & Roses, Inventio 8, Lunch #1, Skating Rink, Straw Piece, Close to You, Murko, Quartet for Drinking Straw, Sextet for Winds, Yardbird Suite, Theme From Motion Picture, Straw Solo.
