Inference (album)


Inference is a live album by pianist Marilyn Crispell and saxophonist Tim Berne which was recorded during the Toronto Jazz Festival in 1992 and released on the Music & Arts label.

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow said "This set has plenty of stimulating and unpredictable interplay by the two giants. Music & Arts deserves thanks from the jazz world for making these noncommercial sounds available"
The Penguin Guide to Jazz notes that "This is not a great astonishment, not is it as good as it might be. Berne's curious bluester often overpowers what otherwise seems impressively vivid and reciprocal music-making."
