| A historical document for new or old investigators of British free-improv. This is part of the first wave in the mid-1970s, when 31-year-old Evan Parker was building the foundations of his multiphonic and many-layered atonal evolution out of John Coltrane.
Today, Parker is a seamless improviser, weaving an unbroken chatter of whoops, whistles, melodies, guttural exclamations and passing bursts of straightish tunes into dense tapestries of sound.
In 1975, the elements were more fragmented, and his improvising camein briefer bursts - more spluttering, brittle, raw - against the metallic rattles, cymbal-edge scrapings, creaking sounds and spacey live electronics of his then regular percussion partner Paul Lytton. |
