On this night in 1978, Alan Gowen, Hugh Hopper, Elton Dean and drummer Dave Sheen delivered an electric jazz date. Though all but the drummer contributed tunes, it is Gowen's compositions and arrangements that walk the fulfilling yet tense line between strictly composed elements and improvisation, as the band -- inspired beyond belief – fire on all cylinders.
