Evan Parker has performed in so many contexts, but he seems to have hit a
particular stride with his Electro-Acoustic Ensemble, a strange
combination of saxophones, strings, and electronics. What makes this so
exceedingly attractive is the continuous wonder that permeates
throughout. Parker is no means the standout performer; his soprano and
tenor sometimes meld, at others lead, but it is his remarkable
companions, Philipp Wachsmann (on violin, viola, and electronics), Barry
Guy (on acoustic bass), Paul Lytton (on percussion and electronics),
plus three very different electronic sound manipulators, Lawrence
Casserly, Walter Prati, and Marco Vecchi, who combine to produce some
electrifying and starkly delightful music. Parker fans that have not
heard this group before may be surprised at the results. Although the
saxophonist embraces his now well-known advanced techniques, they are
clearly subordinate to the project. At times there is a busy intensity
to it all, at others a serene quality. Highly complex strokes for an
increasingly intricate society, perhaps, where moods change and so do
their contexts. Don't file under easy listening. Steve Loewy
