Featuring four solos recorded in 1986 in St. Paul's Church, Oxford by the late Michael Gerzon, <i>The Snake Decides</i> is a groundbreaking example how far the language of a particular instrument can be taken. “The Snake Decides attracts a certain array of adjectives - intense, radical, fearsome, hypnotic, virtuosic – and occasionally allows a more ambitious reviewer to avoid platitude by talking more specifically about 32nd harmonics, circular breathing, multiphonics and Gerson's exact choice and placement of microphones. But this misses a point, too. Listening to this record, either for the first or the fortieth time, is an arousing experience. This is the ultimate document of one of the most important recordings in all of Parker’s extensive and exploratory catalogue.
