Common Threads: Live at the Tractor Tavern, Seattle is a live album by multi-instrumentalist and composer Joe McPhee recorded in 1995 and first released on the Deep Listening label.[1]
Allmusic reviewer Thom Jurek states "the quintet creates a spacious yet wonderfully murky chamber music, utilizing timbre as its force for forward momentum. The three-string instruments are given free rein to cover or open spaces inside this mode and create intervals of their own for McPhee and S. Dempster. They create textures in space by employing timbral chromatics of timbre and tonal extension and contraction to achieve their aims".[2]
