All About Jazz Italia: Mathilde 253

Charles Hayward defies the laws of physics, Ian Smith blows particles into space, Lol Coxhill contributes to the celestial harmony, and my playing is like a pulsar! Vincenzo Roggero gives Mathilde 253 (SLAMCD 528) an astro-poetic spin at All About Jazz Italia: Le percussioni di Charles Hayward sono impulsi, fremiti di pelli, vibrazioni di metalli [...]

The Squid’s Ear: Mathilde 253

Jeph Jerman’s take of Mathilde 253 (SLAMCD 528) at The Squid’s Ear: …The trio interplay starts back up into territory that’s not quite free-jazz, not quite stereotypical British free improv, but somewhere in-between, with a slight rock-ist tinge. The stop/start modus continues, little cells erupting, sprawling and then halting, leaving guitar exposed again. [Han-earl] Park [...]

…and more CD reviews: Mathilde 253

A couple of more reviews of Mathilde 253 (SLAMCD 528) including Ken Waxman at JazzWord who says that it’s a “textbook example of high-class improvising” (and I’m a “sharp-witted” guitarist): Riveting in its scope and cohesion, this seven-track slice of Free Improv captures the sounds made one night at a London club by an ad-hoc [...]

The Sound Projector: Mathilde 253

Ed Pinsent at The Sound Projector gives his take on Mathilde 253 (SLAMCD 528): The real strength of the work is when the individual voices begin to shine, as they do on ‘Aachen’ for example—some savourable moments of interlining lines from Coxhill’s liquid fruit-juice sax and Smith’s horn. Park manages some imaginatively dissonant barbedly-wire phrases and [...]
