Rogues (album)
''Rogues'' is a live album by trombonist Paul Rutherford and bassist Paul Rogers. Featuring two duets plus a solo for each musician, it was recorded on November 11, 1988, at the Cannonball, a pub in Birmingham, England, and was released in 1996 by Emanem Records. Reception In a review for AllMusic, François Couture wrote: "The concert took place in a Birmingham pub: glasses, coughing, and cash register sounds surface when the intensity level of the music falls down. Since the players always remain on top of these intrusions, the resulting atmosphere actually works for the music: it puts the listener back into the room." He also praised Rogers' solo, describing it as an "impersonation of a classical bassist gradually going mad."

Free Jazz
Free jazz, or free form in the early to mid-1970s, is a style of avant-garde jazz or an experimental approach to jazz improvisation that developed in the late 1950s and early 1960s, when musicians attempted to change or break down jazz conventions, such as regular tempos, Musical tone, tones, and chord changes. Musicians during this period believed that the bebop and modal jazz that had been played before them was too limiting, and became preoccupied with creating something new. The term "free jazz" was drawn from the 1960 Ornette Coleman recording ''Free Jazz: A Collective Improvisation''. Europeans tend to favor the term "free improvisation". Others have used "modern jazz", "creative music", and "art music". The ambiguity of free jazz presents problems of definition. Although it is usually played by small groups or individuals, free jazz big band, big bands have existed. Although musicians and critics claim it is innovative and forward-looking, it draws on early styles of jazz ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gheim
''Gheim'' is an album by trombonist Paul Rutherford and his trio, featuring bassist Paul Rogers and drummer Nigel Morris. The first two tracks were recorded live at the Bracknell Jazz Festival on July 2, 1983, and were originally released by the Ogun label in 1986 on a cassette titled ''Bracknell '83''. In 2004, Emanem Records reissued the live tracks, along with three tracks that were recorded in a London studio on December 12, 1983, on a CD titled ''Gheim''. The disc, with all five tracks, was reissued by Emanem in 2014. Reception In a review for AllMusic, François Couture wrote: "Rutherford hardly ever had an off year and 1983 certainly wasn't one. This recording finds him stretching toward jazz licks without ever crossing that line, instead integrating his fragmented phrasing and amazing sounds to the free jazz pulse, all the while displaying bottomless creativity... The live set is more energetic and relentless..., while the studio set is closer to the kind of European fr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sequences 72 & 73
''Sequences 72 & 73'' is an album by trombonist Paul Rutherford and the group known as Iskra 1912. It was recorded during 1972–1974 in London, and was released in 1997 by Emanem Records. The album features studio recordings of two ensemble works composed and conducted by Rutherford, plus a live recording of a solo trombone piece. The solo trombone track, titled "Non-sequence," is an excerpt from an event that author Ben Watson described as having "entered Free Improvisation folklore as an inspirational example of musicianly rebellion," in that it involved a performance of Luciano Berio's composition '' Sequenza V'' during which Rutherford "began by following the score, then took off on his own." Watson wrote: "Applause and favourable reviews showed that no one – least of all the 'experts' – could tell that the genius on show was Rutherford's rather than Berio's." Reception In a review for AllMusic, Steve Loewy stated that the two ensemble pieces "are among the finest exam ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Encyclopedia Of Popular Music
''The Encyclopedia of Popular Music'' is an encyclopedia created in 1989 by Colin Larkin. It is the "modern man's" equivalent of the '' Grove Dictionary of Music'', which Larkin describes in less than flattering terms.''The Times'', ''The Knowledge'', Christmas edition, 22 December 2007 – 4 January 2008. It is published by the Oxford University Press and was described by ''The Times'' as "the standard against which all others must be judged". History of the encyclopedia Larkin believed that rock music and popular music were at least as significant historically as classical music, and as such, should be given definitive treatment and properly documented. ''The Encyclopedia of Popular Music'' is the result. In 1989, Larkin sold his half of the publishing company Scorpion Books to finance his ambition to publish an encyclopedia of popular music. Aided by a team of initially 70 contributors, he set about compiling the data in a pre-internet age, "relying instead on information ...
