Lol Coxhill - Café de la place

LP nato 1085 (1986)

Coxhill on a French excursion on this hard to find nato release (not re-issued). Its a mixed bag of live recordings from various street corners, steps and stately settings!

There is a sentiment d'occasion in these recordings, rough at the edges but imbued with Coxhill's inimitable musicality. The accordionist Mike Adcock, another maverick joins Coxhill in the proceedings to produce for me some of the the highlights!

Wayne Horvitz and Pigpen - Miss Ann

[CD: Tim/Kerr, USA, 1994; #tk93cd069]

"Pigpen (1992-1996) was the beginning of a long term musical partnership between Wayne Horvitz and alto saxophonist Briggan Krauss. Performing primarily in rock clubs in the Northwest, Pigpen also did two European tours as well as performances in Canada and New York. Special projects included collaborations with Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron, Santana drummer Michael Shrieve, The Billy Tipton Saxophone Quartet, Bill Frisell, and Seattle icon Skerik." (from Wayne Horvitz's homepage)

"In 1992, Horvitz was a founding member of the band Pigpen alongside bassist Fred Chalenor, saxophonist Briggan Krauss and drummer Mike Stone. The group's sound was a juxtaposition of improvisational jazz with the intense sounds of rock and roll. The following year, the group released the album Halfrack followed by 1994's Miss Ann. The group’s last release was 1997’s Daylight." (from Jazz.com's Encyclopedia of jazz musicians)

Sten Sandell - Music From A Waterhole

CD: Alice Musik #ALCD 005 (1991)

An early (solo in the main) release from Sandell which for me is rich in diversity. Its nice to hear an improviser explore ideas within a defined context. His trio & quartet work is pretty well known (eg. the trio 'Gush') but this recording is a cauldron of subdued mediative pieces interspersed with sonic and percussive outbursts of expression coupled with vocalisation and driving rhythms which enhance the whole. All in all an enjoyable recording!

Recorded "live" with no overdubs at Fylkingen, Stockholm and St Görans Chapel, Kjesäter, Sweden, Spring 1991.

Sten Sandell, piano, organ, harmonium, sampling keyboard, percussion, voice
Lise-Lotte Norelius, percussion (tracks 3, 5, 7)
Kjell Nordeson, percussion (tracks 2, 3, 5, 6, 7)
