Setoladimaiale Unit & Evan Parker: Live At Angelica 2018
ByLike a Renaissance fresco there is much detail here, maybe too much to take in by way of a perambulate from entrance to exit of these 71-minutes. The music could easily be mistaken for a Lawrence "Butch" Morris conduction because of the orderliness of the improvised sounds. Amazingly enough, even with this many musicians, there is no conductor. Like an Italian fresco there is an abundance of stimuli here from Patrizia Oliva's vocal flourishes plus her electronics and those of Alberto Novello to Stefano Giust's thunderous drumming. None of the sounds dominates the presentation to the exclusion of others. Certainly, though, the familiar sound of Parker's signature circular breathing is conspicuous. His trademark saxophone maintains the center around which each movement is directed. The concert is like an Italian fresco, but one that is not static. Imagine lying on the floor of the Sistine Chapel looking up, and the paintings come to life, then you have some idea what this performance was all about.
