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.

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

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.

But where Jarrett begins his exploration at ...

Barry Guy -- London Jazz Composers Orchestra: Study II, Stringer
by Glenn Astarita
This newly-released outing looms as a modern/free jazz fest, highlighting studio sessions performed in 1983 ("Stringer, London) and 1991 ("Study II," Switzerland) and led by bassist Barry Guy's multinational orchestra, featuring a who's who of the Euro jazz and improvisation scene. The bassist steers the ensemble through a potpourri of mood-evoking frameworks. In addition to spiraling ...
