Editorial Reviews
Jon Morgan - Cadence, 4/99.
"The first recording of new material from Hess and the BCME in eight years is a humdinger. . . .. Each member of the ensemble is given ample room to move within this framework and seem to be strong soloists in their own right, often sliding solos against the overall orchestration. Ironically, what makes this music memorable is that the compositions seem to downplay individual considerations in favor of emphasizing a collective ensemble sound. The Boulder Creative Music Ensemble presents music of great complexity without the academic residue that sometimes accompanies it. Hopefully, it won't be another eight years between recordings.

Product Description
This offering by the BCME comes as a surprise. After the release of Between the Lines: The Complete Studio Recordings (Tapestry 76002), there seemed no further future for the Boulder Creative Music Ensemble. However, public clamor and sentiment have made us reconsider our demise, and out of the ashes rises Ninth Street Park, representing new life for the BCME. Actually, we've never truly gone away, as our interest in developing contexts for an improvising ensemble only deepens as our experiences in the genre gives us further inspiration. This edition of music has been developing over the last eight years, since the BCME's last recordings. What's new is the addition of the rhythm section of bassist Kent McLagan and drummer Tim Sullivan, whose excellent music skills made performing such complex music possible.
