DEREK BAILEY & EVAN PARKER ‘The London Concert’ psi 05.01
All of the music from the 1975 Wigmore Hall (London) concert by this duo then nearing the mid-point of their twenty years of work together. On CD for the first time. Reissue of Incus LP 16 plus 31 minutes of extra material. 69 minutes.
PAUL RUTHERFORD ’Iskra3’ psi 05.02
Revolutionary improvised music for trombone (PAUL RUTHERFORD) and live computer processing (ROBERT JARVIS & LAWRENCE CASSERLEY). This 2004 recording is the latest in the series of sparks that light up key stages in Paul Rutherford’s long musical odyssey. 71 minutes.
URS LEIMGRUBER / JACQUES DEMIERRE / BARRE PHILLIPS ‘LDP – Cologne’ psi 05.03
This saxophone/piano/bass group, recorded at the Loft in Köln in 2003, continues the tradition of the drummerless trio in improvised music. With Barre Phillips, the continuity extends all the way back to the legendary Jimmy Giuffre Trio. 61 minutes.
Emanem
SPONTANEOUS MUSIC ENSEMBLE "A New Distance" (1993-4) EMANEM 4115
Two of the last performances by the SME which then comprised JOHN STEVENS (percussion & pocket trumpet), ROGER SMITH (guitar) and JOHN BUTCHER (soprano & tenor saxophones). A new direction for the music that was sadly terminated later that year (1994) by Stevens' untimely death. Added to this reissue are two short pieces from the previous year, when NEIL METCALFE (flute) was also in the group, and some perceptive comments by Stevens. Reissue of Acta CD 8 with extra material. 63 minutes.
FREE BASE "The Ins and Outs" (2003) EMANEM 4116
Free Base is ALAN WILKINSON (alto & baritone saxophones), MARCIO MATTOS (double bass & electronics) and STEVE NOBLE (drums) - a very varied trio that includes both very fiery climaxes and becalmed moments. Although they have been in existence for a decade, this is their first appearance on record, apart from their highly praised contribution to the 2003 FREEDOM OF THE CITY festival (heard on EMANEM 4212). 72 minutes.
