Provenance, Mal de mer, Duration: Evan Parker and Peter Evans at Solilóquios in Porto
by Arian Bagheri Pour Fallah
Provenance Evan Parker needs little introduction. To the listener and to the critic, clearly, but above all to the formation of musical matter. The rudiments of his making are well obscured twenty seconds in after he enkindles the first note. He plays the saxophone durably--static, in deathlike stillness. It is easy, in fact, to mistake his ...
Peter Evans / Sam Pluta: Two Live Sets
by Mark Corroto
The most extraordinary music ever presented has elicited the same time-honored “what the f@#k was that?" response.

Tomasz Dabrowski: Ninjazz
by Don Phipps
Dark and foreboding, with a slight touch of heat, Polish trumpeter Tomasz Dąbrowski's album Ninjazz offers up a selection of work that reminds one of his mentor, the late great Tomasz Stanko, with a bit of Enrico Rava, Kenny Wheeler, and Mark Isham thrown in for good measure. Dabrowski is joined on this effort ...
Chris Pitsiokos, Susana Santos Silva, Torbjörn Zetterberg: Child Of Illusion
by Don Phipps
Selecting a cover illustration of a dark and menacing four-armed lemur, the trio of musicians on the album Child Of Illusion, Chris Pitsiokos (alto sax), Susana Santos Silva (trumpet), and Torbjörn Zetterberg (double bass), signal that this album will pack an unusual musical wallop. And indeed it does, with top level improvisations that explore dynamics and ...
The Heat Death: The Glenn Miller Sessions
by Angelo Leonardi
La libera improvvisazione free vive e profilica nei paesi scandinavi e trova ospitalità nel catalogo della portoghese Clean Feed.

Per intenderci quella di Evan ...
