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. The lack of current 'bone-heavy ...
FURT and electronics on Psi
by John Eyles
The four latest releases on saxophonist Evan Parker's Psi label tell an interesting story about the past decade as well as about Psi and Parker. Each of the four releases features electronics and includes one or both members of the improvising electronics duo FURT--Richard Barrett and Paul Obermayer. After Psi debuted in late 2001, ...

Paul Rutherford: Tetralogy (1978-82)
by John Eyles
As Joni Mitchell wrote, you don't what you've got till it's gone. So it has proved with legendary trombonist and euphonium player Paul Rutherford. A massive void has been left since his sudden death in August 2007. Sad to think we'll never see his walrus moustache and distinctive red braces again, listen to his ever-sensible views ...
Lawrence Casserley / Adam Linson: Integument
by John Eyles
Lawrence Casserley and Adam Linson have well-established links with Evan Parker and with each other. Both have previous releases on Psi and since 2004 both have been members of Parker's Electro-Acoustic Ensemble. That is highly relevant to the music on Integument as that ensemble features real-time processing of sound, as does this album. On his solo ...
Barry Guy: Ode to a Bassist
by Andrey Henkin
In 2007, just in time for bassist Barry Guy's 60th birthday, Intakt Records released Portrait, equal parts compilation, introduction, overview and mere glimpse into the musical world of this instrumentalist, composer and bandleader. There are tracks from several editions of Guy's colossal London Jazz Composers Orchestra (LJCO), pieces done with longstanding collaborators like Evan Parker and ...
Derek Bailey and Evan Parker: Incus reissues
by John Eyles
The happy coincidence of solo recordings by guitarist Derek Bailey and saxophonist Evan Parker being reissued in quick succession provides a convenient opportunity to reflect on the association of two of the most influential improvisers of their generation. Bailey and Parker first played together in March 1967, recording as part of a Spontaneous Music Ensemble (SME) ...
Bob Downes Open Music: Crossing Borders
by Nic Jones
Here's another of Reel's exercises in twentieth century tape archaeology. Like earlier efforts, it has the practical effect of sealing another hole in the documented fabric of British jazz and improvised music from the last four decades of that century. It's highly worthwhile too, this labor of love, as on this occasion it yields a program ...
Solo in Berlin 1975
Label: Emanem
Released: 2008
Track listing: Berlintro; Berl in Zil; A Song My Granny Taught Me; Not a Very Wonderful Ballad; Primus; Secundus; Tertius; Quartus.
Paul Rutherford: Solo in Berlin 1975
by Clifford Allen
From the 27th to the 31st of March, 1975 the FMP label held its Workshop Freie Musik at the Berlin Academy of Art, and among usual suspects Alexander von Schlippenbach and the Globe Unity Orchestra, the festival held various aggregations for brass instrumentalists, in groups and as soloists. Among the trombone soloists, whose performances lasted approximately ...
