| Three different groups in performances utilizing frameworks devised by John Stevens sending the music into unexpected areas. From mid-1968 there is the unusual line-up of John Stevens (percussion), Norma Winstone (voice), Kenny Wheeler (fluegelhorn), Paul Rutherford (trombone) and Trevor Watts (bass clarinet) in a wide-ranging half-hour sequence. Another half-hour sequence features the superb 1971 quartet of Stevens (percussion & voice), Julie Tippett (voice & guitar), Watts (soprano sax) and Ron Herman (double bass) reintroducing some emotional elements of free jazz into the group improvising. Finally, there is a short performance of the hyper-minimalist piece 'Flower' by the 1973 duo of Stevens and Watts. 71:49 minutes -- all previously unissued. |
ARTISTS Spontaneous Music Ensemble: John Stevens (percussion); Norma Winstone (voice); Kenny Wheeler (flugelhorn); Paul Rutherford (trombone); Trevor Watts (bass clarinet, soprano sax); Julie Tippett (voice, guitar); Ron Herman (double bass) |
