From Riti Records:
RITI CD12 – JOE MORRIS WILDLIFE ..TRAITS
Joe Morris – bass
Luther Gray – drums
Petr Cancura – tenor saxophone
Jim Hobbs – alto saxophoneAll improvised quartet music by four acclaimed leaders in free jazz and improvised music. The superior collective interplay on this recording is outmatched only by the individual virtuosity of the four players, each a master voice on their respective instruments. Led by the driving energy and instantly formal playing of Joe Morris on bass, who makes his deepest case yet to be considered one of the great bassists in free music, this amazing group operates as a model of collective interaction creating spontaneously realized pieces that are vivid, grooving, driving, soulful, adventurous, demanding and richly rewarding.
RITI CD11 – JOE MORRIS / AGUSTI FERNANDEZ ..AMBROSIA

Augusti Fernandez – pianoA state-of-the-art duo recording from two masters of improvised music.
