Paul Rutherford Trio: GHEIM
by Germein Linares
The latest release of trombonist Paul Rutherford's GHEIM includes two '83 sessions. The first part is the original two-part live recording of GHEIM at the Bracknell Jazz Festival on July 2, 1983; the latter half features three studio recordings from December of the same year. In both cases, Paul Rutherford employs the excellent and witty skills ...
Clive Bell & Sylvia Hallett: The Geographers
by John Eyles
I suspect that a blindfolded listener dropped anywhere into this album would be unlikely to identify it as a product of the London improvising community. Guesses would most probably centre around ethnographic field recordings made way out east, rather than recordings made in Gateway Studios by two Brits. Clive Bell and Sylvia Hallett have very different ...
Paul Dunmall with Paul Lytton & Stevie Wishart: In Your Shell Like
by John Eyles
Paul Dunmall releases continue to pour out at a prodigious rate--about one a month on his own Duns label and others--and it's difficult to keep track of them all. In addition to his work on saxophones, Dunmall continues to raise the profile of the border bagpipes as an instrument for improvisation. Although at first ...
Various Artists: Freedom of the City 2004 - Small Groups
by John Eyles
Emanem is without equal as a purveyor of improvised music, with a catalogue now numbering over 130 albums. The label's annual Freedom of the City releases (this is the fourth annual “Small Groups double CD release) serve several functions. They provide an excellent record--aural and photographic--of the festival itself, whether or not one attended; they are ...
Veryan Weston/John Edwards/Mark Sanders: Gateway to Vienna
by John Eyles
This double CD pairs a studio recording from December 2003 (the Gateway part) with a May 2002 concert recording of two long improvisations (the Vienna part). When this trio released their previous Emanem CD Mercury Concert in 1999, Veryan Weston was described as “underrated and John Edwards and Mark Sanders were described as “younger, unacclaimed players ...
London Improvisers Orchestra: 2003-4: Responses, Reproductions & Reality
by Glenn Astarita
Consisting predominantly of British free improvisers, this consortium is captured in live performance at the Freedom of the City festival on two dates: May 4, 2003 and May 3, 2004. With over thirty musicians, the orchestra's creative ways are partly signified by call and response dialogues, layered horns, and multicolored contrasts. Effectively, the artists pursue a ...
Roger Smith & Louis Moholo-Moholo: The Butterfly and the Bee
by Glenn Astarita
Former Brotherhood of Breath drummer Louis Moholo and British free-form acoustic guitarist Roger Smith lay their cards out on the table during this extremely attractive studio set. Essentially, neither man acts as an antagonist here. It's more about intrinsic communication, topped off with acutely enacted improvisations featuring great depth and variable rhythmic maneuvers. Moholo's complex drumming ...
