A history of LINES:
In the spring of 1995 I stayed in London once again at the house of my friend and
long-time associate Marcio Mattos. A quartet with Phil Wachsmann and Jim Denley came
together for the first time for a typical London club gig at the China Pig. The music was
fantastic and we decided to continue working as a steady group, which we called Lines. But
we felt that a fifth voice would make the composition and chemistry of the group even
better.
At the same time I was looking for a new possibility to work with the German trumpet
player Axel Dörner, in whose first quartet I had played at the beginning of the 90's in
Köln. He seemed to me to fit ideally into the group. Lines first came together as a
quintet for our concert at the Ruhr Jazz Festival, in my hometown Bochum - the music was
really magic. One piece of this concert recorded October 27, 1995 is documented on our
first CD: LINES (Random Acoustics RA 022, 1997). Since then, the group has toured a lot in
Europe at many festivals and clubs.
MARTIN BLUME (2002) |
Lines
Jim Denley (flutes, alto saxophone, flax, voice)
Axel Dörner (trumpet)
Phil Wachsmann (violin)
Marcio Mattos (bass, cello, electronics)
Martin Blume (drums)
This is simply an exquisite example of the beauty and
passion of free jazz. No words are necessary. May be the finest recording in the Random
Acoustic’s catalogue of superlative recordings.
Comes with our highest recommendation.
" Exactitude, precision; delicacy, detail; timbre,
texture. An exquisite corpus....Colors, minute taste fluxes teasing the brain like a dish
flavored with a familiar but unidentifiable spice." – John Corbett
