EVAN PARKER | KEITH ROWE | BARRY GUY | EDDIE PRÉVOST - Supersession (New Edition) (1984-2015) RM | FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

Recorded in 1984, a full 16 years after this quartet as individuals began their investigation into free improvisation, the results are in. Here are a group of four nearly peerless musicians who are standalone comfortable in this medium, the one that creates something out of nothing. Using the whatever elements are at their disposal, this group of mates take the silence and fill it with noises, beautiful notes, conical, breathless saxophone solos, electronic chaos, and thunderous, rhythmic densities it would take God to undo. That this music, such as it is as an unfolding process can happen in front of a live audience, as it is with no agenda, is of particular credit to the British musicians who flew in the face of the American free jazz of the late '60s. For one thing, all of these cats can play their instruments well enough to deconstruct them, and to discover new sounds in them -- check Evan Parker's soprano about ten or 11 minutes into this, or Barry Guy's bassing which brings in high-pitched electronic sounds to counter his own pizzicato in key. This is music that doesn't mess around, but goes straight for the heart of the beast: unquestioning conformity, academic avant-gardism, and soulless tunes called art. Now, in the 21st century, this music sounds as fresh as it did the day it was made. That is art. This is the way, so step inside.

EVAN PARKER & EDDIE PRÉVOST - Most Materiall (1997) 2CD | FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

This is matchless all right. There is almost nothing in the way of language a review of these astonishing recordings can say. It is easier to talk about them then to reveal what they are about musically or esthetically. Master percussionist Eddie Prevost -- who regards bowing strange things on metal objects percussion as well as drums, and right he is -- and saxophonist Evan Parker have recorded a double CD of duets that is so invigorating, confounding, and hysterically beautiful, no one could blame either man if he gave it up right now. There are nine selections between the two discs, ranging in time from nine and a half minutes to over half an hour. All of the titles are quotations from Francis Bacon, who would have been proud to have his spirit evoked during them. This isn't simply improvisation; this is investigation in the same way that Charles Olson's Maximus poems were investigations, in the same way that Pico Iyer and Bruce Chatwin's journeys were investigations, and in the same way that Stockhausen's Hymnen is an investigation. These pieces go after the rooted heart of sound itself, the veiled face of that magical echo that dwells inside and outside of everything, in order to find out how it spells its name and how it decides which hearty to beat. There are flurries and drones and conflicts and resolutions and downright mystical moments of pure Blakean illumination. This is music that's about so much more than music that it cannot be addressed in merely musical terms. This is the very case in point of Henry James' definition of art: this is the "thing that can never be repeated."
