Avant-Garde, "New Music", Now Playing>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

What is the quintet featured on the Peter Kowald release?

I looked it up - looks great - includes Rutherford & Lovens

will be ordered

 

Rempis Percussion Quartet - The Long Haul
This is great... The second track has a few moments where I just laughed, shaking my head.

 

Looks like no CD

the percussion quartet release called Cochonnerie has maybe the greatest of all passages by this group or any Rempis band. I think it’s the second half of the first long 30 minute plus improvisation.

this group is the ONE Rempis group along with KUZU that I would most love to see live. Right now I’d settle for anything with Rempis, a drummer and anyone else!!!

 

Yeah, he started putting out weekly digital releases after the pandemic hit. I'd guess there might have been 10-12 weeks in total, with a few gems in there for sure.

I'm with you on the live music... Can't wait until that's a real thing again!

 

open mouth

First listen now.

Simon H. Fell Ensemble - Positions & Descriptions



Fifteen musicians, including Tim Berne, Joe Morris, Rhodri Davies, Jim Denley, Alex Ward and Steve Beresford and Simon Fell conducted by Clark Rundell, perform the leader's own "Composition No. 75" at 2007 Huddersfield (UK) Contemporary Music Festival. Almost 80 minutes of 20th century avant-garde melting pot, where Pierre Boulez meets Anthony Braxton meets Frank Zappa meets Charles Mingus meets György Ligeti meets Barry Guy meets...

However, despite such a wildly eclectic range of sources and inspirations it's cohesive and it flows, never ceasing to amuse and surprise at each turn of music narrative. Brilliant.

Mike Cooper - Raft

Somehow seems right when on a 103 degree day with no air conditioning.

 

Arcana ‎– The Last Wave

• Drums – Tony Williams
• Electric Bass [8 String] – Bill Laswell
• Electric Guitar – Derek Bailey

 

I’ve never heard or even heard OF this

comments?? Style??

 

Me neither. Gets very good reviews. Derek Bailey playing fusion. Wow.

 

Free/fusion power trio somewhat akin to a few years later Derek's own Mirakle (with Jamaaladeen Tacuma and Calvin Weston).

 

Yeah, it's great - I picked it up when it came out as I did with the other Arcana Arc of the Testimony - also great but entirely different.

In the Ben Watson book on Bailey, he reproduces the HiFi review which says "By the end, it is Bailey's show. His eccentric intervals splinter Laswell's harmonies with brain-bursting persistence."

 

I had never heard of it myself. Went out to my favorite used music/book store for the first time in 6 months (when they opened, there was basically no one there); picked up a stack of CDs, this included.

I liked it a lot - I'm awful at describing styles, but this was great in a frantically messy way.

 

OUTSTANDING album! "Mirakle (with Jamaaladeen Tacuma and Calvin Weston)" That's a good comparison, with Bailey's plink-plunking over a solid rhythmic background -- but this is a much stronger album imho.
