 Han Bennink : Post Improvisation, Vol. 1: When We're Smilin' - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Basically, Bailey asks Bennink what he's doing, to which the drummer replies, "practicing, of course." Bailey gets the idea that Bennink should record his practice and send it to him and he will do the same, after which each man will record over what the other has done.
Here, Bailey and Bennink had the benefit of being able to hear the other's improvisations without having to react in the immediate now, the heat of the moment.
The skittering of Bennink's brushes, incessant and maddeningly crystalline in their crazy vision, are answered straightforwardly by Bailey's muted, over-tuned high strings and rubbery under-tuned lows; he slips approximations of chords through the drumming patterns and scratches for effect as Bennink begins playing bird calls.

 CD Review of Han Bennink & Terrie Ex - The Laughing Owl on Atavistic @ jazzreview.com
Not many jazz drummers would record an album of free improvisations with a guitarist from a political ethno-punk rock band -- but Han Bennink is, of course, no ordinary jazz drummer.
I've seen him play: the guy's a brilliant madman, full of zany, unpredictable antics yet he's always visceral, powerful and above all, musical, in a manner that suggests a gene-splicing experiment aimed at crossing Chico Marx and Milford Graves.
Bennink is always making with The Rhythm (abstract & playful, yes, but it's there); Terrie Ex's guitar - perhaps because of his "rock" background - is raw, earthy and visceral, avoiding the dry, ponderous "cerebral" sound that some free-improvisors fall prey to.

 Misha Mengelberg and Han Bennink in Berlin
Pianist Misha Mengelberg and drummer Han Bennink, two father figures of Dutch jazz and free improvisation, appeared for a duo concert at Festsaal Kreuzberg in Berlin, Germany on April 23, 2006.
More than once, Bennink left his drum kit to play on the stage floor or hit his cymbals with his chair, while Mengelberg stoically improvised Powell-like single-note lines or hymn-like chords, in contrast to Bennink's thunder.
Mengelberg and Bennink's duo revealed not only how vital and entertaining contemporary jazz improvisation can sound, but also that it appeals to an audience as diverse as the one at Berlin Kreuzberg, whose ovations were rewarded with two encores.
