Lol Coxhill / Enzo Rocco: Fine Tuning - The Gradisca Concert
by Glenn Astarita
There are no hard and fast rules that suggest improvised music cannot be a congenial undertaking. Free expressionism should not always be engineered upon overly cerebral formats and ideologies, contrary to popular belief. Fabled saxophonist Lol Coxhill and prominent Italian guitarist Enzo Rocco conjure the best of both worlds throughout this amiable set, recorded live at ...
Chefa Alonso and Albert Kaul: The Reliable Uncertainty
by John Eyles
Chefa Alonso plays soprano saxophone as well as percussion; Albert Kaul plays piano and clavichord. Despite recording extensively in other contexts, their discography as a duo is in its infancy and in a state of flux; a more appropriate title here might be “The curious case of Chefa and Albert." A four-track version of The Reliable ...
Duos: When The Sum Is Greater Than Its Parts
by Mark Corroto
The defining characteristic of all great partnerships in cinema, from the male-bonding buddy movie to the classic Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy films, is the tension created between two self-assertive characters, before their eventual collaboration. The same can be said of jazz and improvisational duos. By matching two authoritative players, sparks fly and, if the two ...

Listening to soprano saxophonist, Lol Coxhill on Success With Your Dog, it is tempting to dwell on the thought that Coxhill pushes the straight horn further, much further, than the late Steve Lacy. It is, of course, natural. Coxhill emerged around the same time as Lacy, and both men came long after Sidney Bechet, and the ...

Lol Coxhill and Roger Turner: Success with your Dog

They first played together in the early '70s and ever since they have come together regularly in a variety of settings, including The Recedents, their trio with guitarist Mike Cooper. Recently, they have most often played as a duo, and remarkably, Success with your ...
Radar Favourites: Radar Favourites
by Nic Jones
Full credit is due to Mike King and Reel Recordings for this exercise in historical reclamation. For a brief period back in the mid-1970s, Radar Favourites was a band with a pedigree. For one thing, it was saxophonist Geoff Leigh's first venture after his departure from Henry Cow, while guitarist G.F. Fitz-Gerald was responsible for the ...
Evan Parker / Urs Leimgruber: Twine
by Mark Corroto
Twine, from saxophonists Evan Parker and Urs Leimgruber, is perhaps named for two strands twisted together to make a much stronger thread. The subtitle, however, might just be two saxophonists separated at birth.Most people familiar with the legendary Parker know his unique sound and reign as the sovereign of freely improvised tenor and soprano ...
