| The GIO apparently started life during a workshop with Evan Parker so, fittingly, he is credited as guest on this CD. This weighty ensemble tackles free improvisation without descending into a mess of voices struggling to be heard in a free for all, which is no mean feat. There are raucous passages but they are balanced by moments that are luminous, delicate even, as on Dissenting. Here massed ranks of flutes, saxes and cello construct waves of shifting sound that swell and dissolve. Occasionally a flute will rise out of the weave or a splash of percussion will underpin it but this is mostly a collective effort echoing sounds made by Keith Tippett's Ark. These sonorities are refreshingly arresting. |
