Evan Parker - Barry Guy: So It Goes

by John Sharpe
February 17, 2024

Two masters who have invented a (the?) lexicon for their instruments meet on So It Goes. British saxophonist Evan Parker and his compatriot bassist Barry Guy should need no introduction to anyone interested in European free improvisation. Both active since the 1970s, they remain vital forces even with as they both move into their eighth decade. ...

Peter Evans / Barry Guy: Syllogistic Moments

by John Sharpe
December 24, 2018

From the first few seconds of the opening “Red Green" onwards, this live recording from trumpeter Peter Evans and bassist Barry Guy is a feat of death defying bravura.

Torben Snekkestad & Barry Guy: Slip Slide And Collide

by Enrico Bettinello
October 2, 2014

Una musica del dettaglio, della sovrapposizione di brevi bagliori e schegge d'ombra. Si incontrano qui i sassofoni del norvegese Torben Snekkestad e il contrabbasso di Barry Guy, dentro tredici cellule di dialogo dichiarate della durata ciascuna di 2 minuti e 16 secondi, in realtà di durata variabile, ma prevalentemente brevi. Un “inganno" apparentemente insignificante, ...

Agustí Fernández/Barry Guy/Ramón López: A Moment's Liberty

by Mark Corroto
May 15, 2014

The term “elegance," is rarely utilized when referring to a jazz recording. In fact, “elegant jass"might be an oxymoronic term. Sure, The Modern Jazz Quartet always performed in formal wear, and Duke Ellington evoked gracefulness in response to his advertised “jungle music," but jazz has always bumped up against the high brow ceiling of more orthodox ...

by Glenn Astarita
February 9, 2014

The powerhouse international trio's third effort radiates an uncanny, or perhaps uncommon framework combining beauty--due to Agusti Fernandez's lyrically rich and gorgeous statements--coupled with power and free-form elaborations. For instance, on the 18-minute opener “A Moment's Liberty," Fernandez opens with solitary phrasings via lush balladry while transmitting a sense of loneliness until the band embarks on ...
