The cooperative quartet is a New England-based cooperative ensemble steeped in the traditions of Free Music. Convened in Providence, RI, the group is a rare example of a working band--whose album, Search Versus ReSearch, was issued earlier this year on the Italian Setola di Maiale label. Expect the unexpected, delivered with great grace.
