Agusti Fernandez - Barry Guy - Ramon Lopez: A Moment's Liberty

Read "A Moment's Liberty" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


The powerhouse international trio's third effort radiates an uncanny, or perhaps uncommon framework combining beauty--due to Agusti Fernandez's lyrically rich and gorgeous statements--coupled with power and free-form elaborations. For instance, on the 18-minute opener “A Moment's Liberty," Fernandez opens with solitary phrasings via lush balladry while transmitting a sense of loneliness until the band embarks on ...

Agustí Fernández / Barry Guy / Ramón López: Morning Glory

Read "Morning Glory" reviewed by Mark Corroto


In what could easily mistaken for a release on the ECM label, Morning Glory inhabits that crisp minimalist style so familiar to producer Manfred Eicher. Surprisingly enough, this studio recording, with bonus Live In New York disc, is delivered by three of today's most zealous improvisers and outcats. Formed in 2005, the trio's previous ...

Ken Vandermark / Barry Guy / Mark Sanders: Fox Fire

Read "Fox Fire" reviewed by Mark Corroto


The audience has been removed from these live concerts, recorded in 2008 in Birmingham and Leeds, featuring American reedman Ken Vandermark alongside British drummer Mark Sanders and bassist Barry Guy. Despite the constraints of a short, five-day UK tour of only six concerts, there's much to savor in the resulting two discs, for connoisseurs of creative ...

Barry Guy/Mats Gustafsson/Raymond Strid: Tarfala

Read "Tarfala" reviewed by Mark Corroto


I've read interviews with jazz musicians that have told of their first hearing John Coltrane's LP A Love Supreme (Impulse!,1964) and their seemingly inability to turn over the vinyl and play the second side, fearing that it would not compare to the first side. This listener had a similar experience listening to the first (and title) ...

Evan Parker/Barry Guy/Paul Lytton: Zafiro

Read "Zafiro" reviewed by Matthew Sumera


It's hard to account for longevity among freely improvised groups. One somehow assumes that part of the success of much of the genre relies upon the newness of encounter--flirting with the unknown that presumably can only come from fresh associations. This, of course, is one of the myths of free improvisation, for in truth there are ...
