Trombolenium

It was recorded at various concerts in London and Noci, Italy, during 1986, 1992, 1993, and 1995, and was released in 2002 by Emanem Records. Reception In a review for AllMusic, François Couture wrote: "Rutherford's legendary playfulness and his relaxed attitude welcome listeners from the start. Throughout the album the trombonist demonstrates an extensive range of personal techniques that never take over the warmth and lyricism familiar to his music... He is a delight to hear... constantly challenging expectations and eschewing clichés." The authors of ''The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings'' stated: "Almost a decade's worth of solo performance. The sound-quality varies hugely, or rather the acoustics do, and it is interesting to hear how responsive Paul was to different environments." Derek Taylor of ''One Final Note'' called the album "a solid companion and supplem ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

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] |
