Barry Guy / Marilyn Crispell / Paul Lytton: Phases Of The Night
by Nic Jones
Any subversion of the piano trio tradition as manifested in the clinical virtuosity of a technocratic elite is always welcome, and it's present here in abundance. This is not however to suggest that this trio lacks technique, it's just that the music they produce is so free of the constraints of any overt tradition that the ...
Barry Guy/Mats Gustafsson/Raymond Strid: Tarfala
by Mark Corroto
I've read interviews with jazz musicians that have told of their first hearing John Coltrane's LP A Love Supreme (Impulse!,1964) and their seemingly inability to turn over the vinyl and play the second side, fearing that it would not compare to the first side. This listener had a similar experience listening to the first (and title) ...
Evan Parker/Barry Guy/Paul Lytton: Zafiro
by Matthew Sumera
It's hard to account for longevity among freely improvised groups. One somehow assumes that part of the success of much of the genre relies upon the newness of encounter--flirting with the unknown that presumably can only come from fresh associations. This, of course, is one of the myths of free improvisation, for in truth there are ...

01. Charles Mingus - Pithecanthropus Erectus/Blues and Roots (Atlantic - 1956/1960). Semplicemente dischi che ho preso a modello e che amo da sempre. 02. Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz to Come/Free Jazz (Atlantic -1959/1961). Questa musica ha indicato una nuova libertà espressiva. 03. Albert Ayler - Spiritual Unity (ESP - 1964).

Agusti Fernandez / Barry Guy / Ramon Lopez: Aurora
by Andrey Henkin
It would be a fallacy to think that any musician who inhabits the world of free improvisation wishes that world to be a noisy chaotic place. Indeed, one cannot make any assumptions these days about free players, whether it be based on age, background or collaborators. Though Spain has not produced the avant-garde swarms of other ...
Evan Parker / Barry Guy / Paul Lytton: Zafiro
by Eyal Hareuveni
My level of expectation for a new release by the trio of Evan Parker, Barry Guy and Paul Lytton is always high. These British gentlemen are masters of free improvisation and have collaborated together for almost forty years in many groups, like Barry Guy's London Jazz Composers' Orchestra and the more recent New Orchestra and Evan ...
Evan Parker / Barry Guy / Paul Lytton: Zafiro
by Mark Corroto
The best comparison to the trio of Evan Parker, Barry Guy and Paul Lytton in modern performing jazz might be Keith Jarrett's trio with Jack DeJohnette and Gary Peacock. Like Jarrett's trio performances of jazz standards, the Parker/Guy/Lytton meetings are modern benchmarks for trio interplay, empathy and creative music. But where Jarrett begins his exploration at ...
