There are improvisations which follow certain rules and progressions, and there are improvisations which, denying all form, are completely free. The latter are most difficult. There are no scores, guidelines or ripened forms of tradition to follow. "The Gates of Heaven and Earth" is such an improvisation. It is a dialogue between two players, two instruments, with the listener as the silent third partner.
