Paul Rutherford: Solo in Berlin 1975
by Clifford Allen
From the 27th to the 31st of March, 1975 the FMP label held its Workshop Freie Musik at the Berlin Academy of Art, and among usual suspects Alexander von Schlippenbach and the Globe Unity Orchestra, the festival held various aggregations for brass instrumentalists, in groups and as soloists. Among the trombone soloists, whose performances lasted approximately ...
Spontaneous Music Ensemble & Orchestra: Trio & Triangle
by John Eyles
Given the quantity of SME music released by Emanem, cynics might be thinking that quality control must have slipped, that the barrel is being scraped. Miraculously, nothing could be further from the truth. Each new release adds to the body of work available, shedding further light on the exploits of John Stevens' multifaceted ensemble, and putting ...
Phil Minton: No Doughnuts in Hand
by John Eyles
This album is the third part of an astonishing trilogy, following A Doughnut In Both Hands (1975-1982) (Emanem, 1998) and A Doughnut In One Hand (FMP, 1998). With its title, Minton seems to have heeded the advice he gave as a track title on In Both Hands--Too Many Doughnuts Make You Ill. Minton himself ...
London and Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra: Separately and together
by John Eyles
Recorded at the 2007 Freedom of the City Festival, the album features the London Improvisers Orchestra and its Glasgow counterpart. (Guest performers are a fine tradition at FOTC.) The LIO did a set, then the GIO and then they played together. Given the number of musicians involved, and the absence of rehearsal, listeners will be surprised ...
Spontaneous Music Ensemble: Bare Essentials 1972-3
by John Eyles
John Stevens and Trevor Watts are vitally important in the history of the Spontaneous Music Ensemble (and so of improvised music) but the only previous album of the duo alone is Face to Face (Emanem, 1974). From 1968 to 1976 the two often were the SME. But when recording opportunities came up, Stevens usually opted for ...
Trio of Uncertainty: Unlocked
by John Eyles
Trio of Uncertainty, which is Quintet of Uncertainty minus the reeds and percussion, plays its music on violin, cello and piano without amplification or other electronics--a comparatively rare phenomenon for improvised music these days. Certainly it will be the unadorned sound of the trio plus their musical syntax that immediately strikes listeners, and which has the ...
Pascal Marzan & Roger Smith: Two Spanish Guitars
by John Eyles
Everything about this release has a disarming sense of honesty about it. From the no-nonsense statement of its title, an echo of Roger Smith's earlier solo album on Emanem, Spanish Guitar (2002), to the separation of the two guitars that allows us to hear who is doing what, to the clean clarity of the recording, it ...
