REVIEW: AUL LOVENS/ PAUL HUBWEBER/ JOHN EDWARDS - PAPAJO

 


PAUL LOVENS/ PAUL HUBWEBER/ JOHN EDWARDS - PAPAJO (Emanem Disc, 2002)


Mastering By: Martin Davidson


Tracks: 1- Spout-Hole Blues, 2- Philantropical Dance, 3- Primitivo Di Mantre, 4- Refrangible, 5- No Reason to Play the Blues


Recorded at Bremen by Paul Hubweber


Here we have trio improvisations and experimentation. On this recording we have Paul lovens on percussion, Paul Hubweber on trombone and John Edwards on double bass. The experimentation here is for moments really quiet and it takes some time for the musicians to develope the ideas which have a lot of variations. An example of this constant changes and quantity of ideas is the track "Primitivo Di Mantre" that is almost half an hour long (three of the tracks here are long improvisations and two are shorter) where Lovens, Hubweber and Edwards show their musicianship and their big imagination to construct new sounds. Lovens also uses a saw to create some percussive sounds in some of the tracks. This musicians also play a lot with silences making stops and rests in the improvisation (knowing that silence is a great way of expression in music).

Favorite tracks: "Primitivo Di Mantre", "Refrangible" and "Philantropical Dance"
