John Butcher: duos with piano and harp
by John Eyles
Although his first release, Fonetiks (Bead, 1984), was a duo with pianist Chris Burn, in saxophonist John Butcher's large discography, duos are comparatively scarce. The majority are with drummers such as Gerry Hemingway, Paal Nilssen-Love, Eddie Prevost, Gino Robair, Mark Sanders and Dylan van der Schyff. Other notable partners include pianist Steve Beresford, bassist John Edwards, ...
Daniel Blacksberg: Bit Heads
by Clifford Allen
It's somewhat surprising that there aren't too many active trombone/bass/drums power trios around, with the model being strongly set in the late 1970s New York scene by such bands as BassDrumBone (trombonist Ray Anderson, drummer Gerry Hemingway, bassist Mark Helias) and the comparable, albeit freer group Brahma, with drummer Barry Altschul.

No doubt, the duo's venerable artistic ...

Gerry Hemingway: Songs
by Martin Longley
When drummer Gerry Hemingway decides to pursue a song-based project, the only predictable outcome is that it will be unpredictable. His approach to composition includes elements of rock, electronica, minimalism and Broadway intimacy, yet can't be deemed any of these things. As well as the music, Hemingway has also penned the words. His chosen voice is ...
