 Part 5
"Saxophonist Dunmall of Mujician appears here fronting his Octet, a mixture of well known & up-and-coming players, including Keith Tippett (piano), Simon Pickard (tenor sax), Annie Whitehead & Chris Bridges (trombone), Gethin Liddington (trumpet), Paul Rogers (bass) & Tony Levin (drums). But the group is not just 'Mujician + four more', as Paul is firmly in control here, mixing his compositions with the more free-oriented blowing of the ensemble. Sympathetically produced by Evan Parker, Bebop Starburst is an important addition to Paul's growing body of works, and to the genre known affectionately as 'Britjazz'." |
