Evan Parker / September Winds: Short Stories
ByHere, however, they retire to the confines of a Swiss studio for this set of 23 pieces, few more than three minutes long. The group focuses more on structure than soloing, and the small vignettes arelike a collection of short fictionconcise and varied: some bluesy, some abstract, some pointed, some smooth. This comes not just from egoless playing. The compositions were built in a variety of ways: by the suggestion of a word or phrase; by deliberate combinations of instruments or players; or by setting dynamic parameters. The surprising part of it is that the brief pieces never seem incomplete. Rather, they're like little windows into possible musicslike short stories that are good enough to be novels but still stand on their own.
