EVAN PARKER 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Uncharted Territories is a three LP studio album by English jazz bassist Dave Holland, together with saxophonist Evan Parker, percussionist Ches Smith and pianist Craig Taborn. Avant-garde jazz for the most part, they present a series of deep, multi-layered conversations between one another - some of whom were collaborating for the first time. The origin of these new, free improvisation sessions goes back to Holland's pre-New York days and his association with Parker - when they played together in Spontaneous Music Ensemble.

Review: This is about as experimental as you can get from Evan Parker, whose 1976 album Saxophone Solos really reaches for the outer edges of sound. It is a collection of improvisations on soprano sax that are testing on the ears, hugely pressurised and madly innovative if not hugely unusual. He makes his weapon of choice squeal like you have never heard before and in doing so taps into a primeval sound that will have you in a trance, with an empty mind and lost for words if you stay tuned for long enough.
