John Butcher: Bell Trove Spools
by John Eyles
In saxophonist John Butcher's extensive discography, there are examples of many contexts, from solo through duos--including the recently released Daylight (Emanem, 2012), with drummer Mark Sanders, and At Oto (Fataka, 2012), with pianist Matthew Shipp--and trios, up to larger ensembles including Butcher's own seven-piece group, which recorded Somethingtobesaid (Weight of Wax, 2008). Taken together, they paint ...

John Butcher - Mark Sanders: Daylight
by AAJ Italy Staff
Potrebbe essere la recensione più breve del West. Viscerali e “avanti" davvero quanto basta, John Butcher e Mark Sanders, vecchi compagni d'armi sin dai tempi delle comuni collaborazioni con quel genio di Steve Beresford (del resto si erano incontrati a casa di Derek Bailey), tirano fuori dal cappello degli amici della Emanem, un piccolo compendio di ...
