REVIEW: HAN BENNINK / EVAN PARKER - THE GRASS IS GREENER

 


HAN BENNINK / EVAN PARKER - THE GRASS IS GREENER (Psi Records , 2002)


Produced by Evan Parker

Recorded at Gateway Studios

Artwork by Han Bennink


Tracks: 1- Traps of Appetite; 2- Traps of Instinct; 3- Outside the Usual Rules of the Eating Game; 4- Smoke of Sacrifice; 5- The Empty Hook; 6- Coyotes Are EatingPure Bred Poodles in Beverly Hills; 7- Pluto has a Moon; 8- To Tangle Lure and Snare


Here we have a duet CD from this two experimented improvisational musicians: Evan parker on saxophone and Han Bennink on percussion. The music here is really sponteneous and they call it in the booklet "instantcompositions". Everytime that I listen to Evan Parker I get really amazed by his flowing sax lines. He can start a solo line and don´t stop it till minutes later. The combination of this improvised runs and phrases with Bennink anarchic yet controlled percussion beats gives us the formula that makes this recording a unique experience. The two musicians know really well how to work together and this is evident on this CD. This CD is a must for people fan of experimental music in all its forms.

Favorite tracks: "Traps of Appetite"; "Smoke of Sacrifice" and "Pluto Has a Moon".
