A meeting of American reedist Sabir Mateen with Italian improvisers Stefano Ferrian and Luca Pissavini. Released by Not Two in 2013, the uneXPected documents the kind of trans-Atlantic encounter the label often fostered, pairing a veteran of the New York free-jazz scene with younger players from the European avant-garde.
