The 3rd Nova Quartet release with the addition of Ikue on the track Mystic Cyphers. This one is inspired by and dedicated to Walt Whitman. Poet and critic Donald Hall said "the form of free verse is as binding and as liberating as the form of a rondeau,” Sounds like he’s talking about free jazz to me.
