| Whole of the sensational 85 minute concert featuring the quintet of John Stevens (percussion & cornet), Derek Bailey (guitars), Kent Carter (cello & double bass), Evan Parker (soprano sax) and Trevor Watts (soprano sax) -- a classic of free improvisation, about which the following has been written: 'This 1974 concert is one of the best examples of the SME on record.'; 'I think that this 1974 performance is just about the finest single performance of free-improvised music that I know of. For me there is more music and improvisation here per second than just about any other recording that I've ever heard.'; 'A masterpiece of collective improvisation -- belongs in every music collection.'; 'One of the most beautiful improv sets I've heard.' Also included are some slightly earlier improvisations by the trio of Stevens, Carter & Watts and the duo of Stevens & Watts. Reissue of Emanem CDs 4015 & 4016 -- the quintet concert was originally issued on Emanem LPs 3401 & 3402. 135 minutes total! |
