Taxi Consilium is the spiritual conjointment of four well established musicians on the PMG Jazz label and the unwholesome Macedonian Jazz Æther (Cobalt Code Unit, Yordan Kostov Quintet, Filip Bukrshliev Trio, Fighting Windmills, Svetlost Odron Ritual..), guided by the eternal wisdom of seasoned taxi drivers prowling the desolate city streets at 3 in the morning. It is epitomic after-midnight music. Maybe what Eric Dolphy would play if he was a character in a Thomas Pynchon novel. A doped up horn man who moonlights as a P.I. It is the wail of a lonely clarinet playing counterpoint to the dim sounds of fornication from the other room. Shadows and smoke, distant ominous laughter. A free-jazz hard-on in a shady dark alley.
