PAUL ROGERS |
| PAUL ROGERS FREEDOM ORCHESTRA [FMRCD274-0708] |
|
| Speaking at the festival promoter Udo Preis said ' there re on a few musicians in the world of jazz who are able to live this pure deep going and uncompromising form of free improvisation on stage. And a great many consequences have come out of English jazz clubs, and they belong to the circle around Paul Rogers and Paul Dunmall!..'…. It was 3 very intensive and fantastic days near the Austrian /Hungarian border, highlighted by these astounding musicians celebrating together with young Austrian talent. It was a 1o hour long listening pleasure at the Chilli Jazz Festival Rudserdorf Austria with Limmitationes now available on this double CD! (Udo Preis) |

RHYME OR REASON |
| ROB HALL Saxophones CHICK LYALL Piano [FMRCD281-0909] |
|
| For their second FMR release, Rob Hall (saxophones & clarinet) and Chick Lyall (piano) draw from a wide range of sources forging a deeply engaging and intimate musical dialogue. The music ranges from lyrical melodic driven improvisation through post bop, classical chamber music and touching on Celtic traditional music. New compositions from both musicians are interspersed with four freely improvised interludes which stand as a connected suite in their own right. Two non-improvised movements from Hall’s Sonata for Clarinet and Piano are deftly worked into the programme.
This new recording was funded by the Scottish Arts Council and shows this fine duo continuing their musical journey between composition and improvisation, poetic lyricism combined with exploratory jazz soloing.

SPLINT |
| INTELLIGENT DESIGN [FMRCD276-0909] |
|
| Scandinavian electro-improvisers Splint! are back with a new album, their first on FMR. Intelligent Design is a collection of contrasting pieces, from minimalist soundscapes to electro-chaos, every tune with its own unique sound and tense atmosphere. The working method is collective improvisation mainly on acoustic instruments with heavy use of loopers and other live-electronics. The result is carefully post-produced to bring out the essence of the music. The song "The Brick" features Gothenburg singer Malin Dahlström (known from Midaircondo and The Dora Steins), aka Disdishdance, who wrote lyrics and a melody to an improvisation recorded live in concert. The title is a tribute to the human creative force and is an attempt to reclaim the term "Intelligent Design" from the creationist movement |
