482 Music has acquired the rights to the 2001 recording for CRI. Prior to a rerelease, available stock of the CRI release is being made available at a discounted price.

"96 Gestures" is built upon a structure of cued modules giving leads that encourage improvisation. Each of the three cds here present a different performance of the work, each with dramatically varied results.

Musicians: Scott Fields (electric guitar), Carrie Biolo (vibraphone), Francois Houle (clarinet), Robbie Lynn Hunsinger (oboe, english horn), Joseph Jarman (alto saxophone, Eb flute), Rob Mazurek (cornet), Myra Melford (piano), Jason Roebke (double bass), Damon Short (drum kit), Hans Sturm (double bass), Matt Turner (cello), Dylan Van der Schyff (drum kit), Stephen Dembski (conductor)

"...excellent music I will enjoy for a long, long time... Highly recommended." — Jump Arts Journal

"...performances pirouette as effortlessly as a Calder mobile in a gentle breeze." — Wired

"Fields’s choice of collaborators has been one of his strengths. Here it ensures sensitive playing and accurate reading that align the piece with substantial work by the likes of Butch Morris, Anthony Braxton, and John Zorn seeking ways to sustain and extend creative relationships between composed forms and alert improvising." — The Wire
