Description
Tony Oxley - drums / percussion Derek Bailey - guitar Pat Thomas - piano / electronics Matt Wand - samplesRecorded at Chapter Arts Center, Cardiff / Wales, September 10, 1993The fact that Tony Oxley and Derek Bailey collaborated for this CD in 1993 is quite an event - and even more so with Pat Thomas and Matt Wand who had already worked with Oxley in 'Celebration Orchestra' and 'Quartet'; although the latter two are much younger, they come as a unique contribution to the group, as this impressive recording will prove. In the 1960s, Oxley and Bailey belonged to the first generation of improvisational musicians. They had both started out playing traditional jazz, but they quickly reached the forefront of an unconventional movement that developed a unique sound and revolutionized jazz by creating a new musical language. In 1993, Oxley, Bailey, Wand, and Thomas got together to record this incomparable material. It is really impressive to witness how the Pat Thomas/Matt Wand sound shines brightly under Oxley and Bailey; the latter play conventional instruments, but in a way that makes them sound alive and creative. This music is very special - you'll have to hear it to believe it.
