Streaming (album)

Streaming is an album by Muhal Richard Abrams, George Lewis and Roscoe Mitchell released on the Pi Recordings label in 2006. The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states that "Decades have passed since the debut of these three musicians, yet they have lost nothing of their musical curiosity and desire to take risks. The enthusiastic interaction between pianist Muhal Richard Abrams and saxophonist Roscoe Mitchell with Lewis is the real reward of this esoteric outing".
