Of Music and Brilliance, the Vision of Evan Parker

Read "Of Music and Brilliance, the Vision of Evan Parker" reviewed by Lloyd N. Peterson Jr.

by Lloyd N. Peterson Jr.

It may be almost impossible to be involved in free improvisational forms and not be influenced by the compositional genius of Evan Parker. As a saxophonist, he has created one of the most original voices in the history of the instrument and after several decades, remains one of music's most important pioneers.Lloyd Peterson: Today ...

Evan Parker: Boustrophedon

Read "Boustrophedon" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

E se alla fine l'annosa diatriba sulla opposizione/dialettica tra composizione e improvvisazione fosse solo frutto di un errore percettivo? Giusto chiederselo allora, quando l’ECM licenziò Composition/Improvisation Nos. 1, 2 & 3 di Roscoe Mitchell, doveroso rinnovare l’interrogativo in occasione dell’uscita del disco gemello di quell’opera straordinaria, Boustrophedon, con Evan Parker a guidare il Transatlantic Art Ensemble ...

Evan Parker / The Transatlantic Art Ensemble: Boustrophedon

Read "Boustrophedon" reviewed by Budd Kopman

by Budd Kopman

Saxophonist Evan Parker's marvelous and moving Boustrophedon is a companion piece to saxophonist Roscoe Mitchell's Composition/Improvisation Nos. 1, 2 & 3 (ECM, 2007), recorded live in Munich the night before Mitchell's suite and using the same musicians, The Transatlantic Art Ensemble. Both Parker and Mitchell were commissioned to compose music for a symposium for improvised music, ...

Evan Parker: Boustrophedon

by Henry Smith

The follow-up to Roscoe Mitchell's Composition/Improvisation Nos. 1, 2 & 3 (ECM, 2007), Evan Parker's Boustrophedon features the saxophonist/improviser conducting and playing with the Transatlantic Art Ensemble, a collected group of musicians from Europe and the U.S. brought together to perform these two semi-composed works for a Symposium for Improvised Music in Munich. The group, consisting ...

Evan Parker / The Transatlantic Art Ensemble: Boustrophedon

Read "Boustrophedon" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

The delineation between ECM's regular series and New Series has always been relatively clear--improvised music with the regular series, composed music on the New Series. Still, there's an increasingly substantial gray area, occupying a fuzzy space between the two. Reedman Roscoe Mitchell's outstanding Composition/Improvisation Nos. 1, 2 & 3 (ECM, 2007) occupied that ...

Peter Brötzmann: The Complete Machine Gun Sessions

Read "The Complete Machine Gun Sessions" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Anche se risulta più comodo e affascinante considerare Machine Gun come una specie di big-bang da cui improvvisamente scaturì in mille direzioni la lava dell'improvvisazione europea [l'originaria stampa in sole 300 copie per la piccola etichetta Bro, i contemporanei movimenti di protesta in tutta Europa, il Vietnam contribuiscono certamente all'aura leggendaria], quella registrazione al Lila Eule ...
