...Farrell splitting three ways on tenor, soprano sax and flute, Jones here uses his flashy technique to inspire, shape and embroider a harmonically free, three-way dialogue. Reza and Jay-Ree brim with bright looping arches of sound reminiscent of Ornette Coleman. Soloing on Kei-Ko's Birthday March, Elvin gets under way with a humorous drum-corps pattern that soon turns into an exuberant display of staccato licks that would bring a real marching band to its knees...

To make the system work, the central banks agreed to buy no newly...
...gold pile grows, the more nervous the bankers get, fearful that the great golden overhang might somehow cause the free-market price to collapse. Some see South African sales to the IMF as a clever way to let European countries increase their own gold reserves without violating the March agreements. Such countries would simply swap their own currencies for IMF gold...
