David Broscoe approaches his instruments first as sound producers, columns of vibrating air. Texture and tone are considered as much as, or perhaps more than, pitch and harmony. Experimenting with multiphonics has always been as important as practicing scales. Jamie Gullikson was born and will die. In between these portals he drums. Inspired by the looseness and propulsion of the Burmese Hsaing Waing ensembles, he will look for any opportunity to avoid the two and four. Rory Magill likes to take the music for a walk. Among other things, he jumps in with pitch, harmony, two and four. Thanks to some of the teachers: trumpeter Freddie Stone, bassist George Koller, drummer Jim Blackley, and from Ghana, drummers Abraham Adzenyah, Abubakari Lunna and Kwasi Dunyo. |
Line 8::: Rake Rake is one of Ottawa's strongest forces in free improvisation. This self-title CD features David Broscoe joined by the unusual lineup of two percussionists. There is some of the angularity of Braxton, a little of the wry music-play of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, more than a measure of Brötzmann's Sturm-und-Drang. Mostly, there is some serious aural searching going on here....listen to James Hale below "To say that free improvisation has fallen out of fashion is akin to bemoaning the so-called 'death of conversation'. One might postulate that conversation has died because of the cultural dominance of television or the Internet, but that doesn't mean that people don't still talk long into the night about important matters of the heart and mind. Conversation has just gone underground -- so goes free jazz. Driven into dark places by the rise of music that looks backward to the '50's and beyond, free music -- jazz's equivalent of the late-night, unbridled conversation -- remains alive, even where you would least expect it....Enter Rake creating rich, widely variegated textures. Mostly, there is conversation -- free and far-ranging. Listen up!" -- James Hale 9 tracks in 45:30 minutes. :::>>> Tell A Friend About This CD From Drimala If you like this cd, you might also enjoy listening to: Dynamics of the Impromptu (Derek Bailey, John Stevens, Trevor Watts) The Ilya Tree (Paul Flaherty, Greg Kelley, John Voigt, Laurence Cook) 12 Milagritos (John Butcher, Gino Robair, Matthew Sperry) |
