The solo trombone track, titled "Non-sequence," is an excerpt from an event that author Ben Watson described as having "entered Free Improvisation folklore as an inspirational example of musicianly rebellion," in that it involved a performance of Luciano Berio's composition Sequenza V during which Rutherford "began by following the score, then took off on his own." Watson wrote: "Applause and favourable reviews showed that no one – least of all the 'experts' – could tell that the genius on show was Rutherford's rather than Berio's."[5]
