REVIEW: EVAN PARKER - LINES BURNT IN LIGHT

 


EVAN PARKER - LINES BURNT IN LIGHT (Psi Records, 2001)


Recorded at 11 October 2001 by Martin Davidson

Cover Art by Roger Ackling

Tracks: 1- Line Im 2- Line 2, 3- Line 3


This is a killer experimental album of solo pieces by soprano saxophone master Evan Parker. There are three pieces here "Line 1", "Line 2 and "Line 3". The first one was played improvising before the audience arrived and the other two were played in front of the audience. Parker plays phrases using a lot of notes on each making the audience gasp because of the technicality that this phrases demand. The notes played are not performed within some scale or some commonly known structure. Instead of that the music here is coming directly from Parker´s brain to his fingers, lungs and mouth making this a masterpiece in spontaneous music. This CD is released on Psi Recs. a division of Emanme Disc, the reknown jazz/experimental music label, Contact: www.emanemdisc.com
