Two sides of the Riogordo Freedom Orchestra

A last minute addition to the RFO Box set made up of two tracks from two gigs recorded a year apart.
The first track ´Non-Stop ´was recorded at Casa Invisible in September 2010 as part of the  Improv festival and features what would later become the first RFO line up (Knispel/Piñero/Denis/Lawson) along with Markus Bruess on Trumpet.The audio quality is not great..it was recorded on an old mini disc machine but it has plenty of energy.
The second track ´The Purple Void´was recorded at Hotel Cerro de Jaula in Benamocarra on the 22nd July 2011 with the later line up of:
Alain Piñero-Warr Guitar
Joel Knispel-Electric Guitar
Antonio Dobon-Double Bass
Diego Alverez-Melodica/percussion/Vocals
Maricarmen Galli-Keyboards
Robert Lawson-Drums.
