Oh man, that band now has 3 of my favorite musicians in the world: 
Berne, Torn, and keyboardist Craig Taborn. Drummer Tom Rainey is no 
slouch either. The recent studio and live Science Friction (gotta 
love that title!) cds feature Marc Ducret on guitar, an amazing 
player with a completely different approach than Torn's, and, while 
the discs are very, very good, I'd kill to see this band with Torn.
