Farmers By Nature is drummer Gerald Cleaver, bassist William Parker, and pianist Craig Taborn a fully improvising unit and a complete musical collective. Each is a highly regarded & admired composer and bandleader in his own right; their coming together to create new music is always an auspicious and deeply fruitful occasion. Superbly attuned listeners and masterful players of their respective instruments, they are without question one of the finest improvising units/ musical groups in the world today. Out of This World s Distortions references the winsome beauty & powerful, uncorrupted, graceful elegance that arise still, even through the horrors that are perpetrated every day by humans against the Earth and one another. FBN create a sonic ecosystem that reflects this magnificence: sowing seeds of sound and bringing them to blossom, fully inviting in the process. Once again they have created an immersive experience yielding awe-inspiring magic. This album was recorded almost exactly two years after their highly acclaimed debut, from which they take their group name. The album flows exactly as it was performed in the studio that day, opening with an exquisite elegy to the late great saxophonist Fred Anderson (who passed away the evening before the recording) and closing with an impeccably mesmerizing cosmic pulse piece. Simply stunning.
