Derek Bailey: To Play: The Blemish Sessions

Read "To Play: The Blemish Sessions" reviewed by Nenad Georgievski


Much has been discussed and said about improvisation in every form. In its search for freedom from conventional and standard forms, improvised music has gone into all kinds of directions. The results cannot be described in conventional terms, since musicians headed this direction have done everything they can to subvert and discard the principles of music ...

Derek Bailey: Carpal Tunnel

Read "Carpal Tunnel" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


E così, come talvolta accade, un gesto casuale, un capitolo, magari un'impressione fallace - con il tragico senno di poi la si scorge - diventano qualcosa di definitivo, come quando si ripensa alle ultime parole di una persona che abbiamo amato e che magari ci ha lasciati, parole che nel flusso di una vita potevano scivolare ...

Derek Bailey / Evan Parker: The London Concert

Read "The London Concert" reviewed by AAJ Staff

Derek Bailey / Evan Parker: The London Concert

Read "The London Concert" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


"I suoni che produce volano come farfalle"... (Min Tanaka). La creativita' di Derek Bailey pare meglio rappresentata dalle parole di un noto danzatore butoh - che con il chitarrista ha condiviso brevi, ma significativi, tratti del suo percorso terreno in ambito performativo - piuttosto che da uno dei tanti ricordi post - mortem.

Derek Bailey & Evan Parker: The London Concert

Read "The London Concert" reviewed by John Eyles


"Historic" is a very overused word in many contexts, so much so that it is devalued and I am loath to use it here. Nonetheless, it fits this release perfectly.
