The billing is a bit misleading: rather than a duo album, Natives and Aliens features the Evan Parker Trio -- saxophonist Parker plus longtime collaborators Barry Guy on bass and Paul Lytton on drums and percussion -- working with avant-garde pianist Marilyn Crispell. Originally recorded in the early '80s and first released in a small vinyl edition before gaining a wider distribution on CD in 2001, these 11 tracks are fluid, small-group improvisations that slot Crispell neatly into the practiced interplay of Parker's trio. Crispell's playing blends the best characteristics of her two acknowledged inspirations, with Paul Bley's fluidity (best heard on the speedy, rippling cascades of notes that color "Sumach") and Cecil Taylor's percussive, rhythmically free attack (as on "Day of Small Truths," where the pianist interjects booming, sustained chords into a lyrical solo by Guy). The Evan Parker Trio, as always, play with the intuition and improvisatory grace that comes when skilled musicians are in tune with each other's idiosyncracies, giving Natives and Aliens a light -- almost swinging, in the old-school sense -- touch that's often missing in this brand of modern jazz. ~ Stewart Mason
This album was recorded in London in May 1966. On the way from Belgium to London, Marilyn, Barry & Paul saw a huge flying object hovering in the distance. Needless to say, the recording session was significantly influenced by this event. Features 11 impr

Natives And Aliens album
 $13.19  
For over a decade, the Bang on a Can All-Stars have been internationally known for their radically and accessibly energetic approach to modern music-making. Whether reinterpreting works by well-known figures such as Brian Eno's Music for Airports or Terry Riley's In C, or commissioning new works from avant composers such as Arnold Dreyblatt or Toby Twining, they perform with a comprehensive depth that makes these works their own. With Renegade Heaven, BOAC debut not only new works by composers such as Glenn Branca, Arnold Dreyblatt, Julia Wolfe, Michael Gordon, and Phil Kline, but kick off their own record label as well, distributed by Harmonia Mundi. This sextet includes Maya Beiser on cello, Robert Black on bass, Lisa Moore on acoustic and electronic keyboards, Steven Schick on percussion, Mark Stewart on electric guitar, and no less than Evan Ziporyn on clarinet. While it is more than fair to say that there isn't a weak moment on the disc, there are some standouts. Julia Wolf's ...

Billy Dodd, a part-time pianist who was a doctor for 51 years, in 1983 had a rare opportunity to head an all-star group full of major players. Dodd leads the sextet through a dozen Dixieland standards and sounds quite happy accompanying the main soloists. This set is of greatest interest for the playing of trombonist Trummy Young, who also takes several vocals. Nineteen years after he had left the Louis Armstrong All-Stars ...

With BIRTH OF THE COOL, Miles Davis distilled a new tonal palette for jazz. As early as 1954, Miles reacted to the escalating chordal complexity of hard bop by fashioning an evocative blues based on a simple scalar pattern ("Swing Spring"). KIND OF BLUE was the ultimate fulfillment of this approach, with Miles providing his collaborators little more than outlines for melodies and simple scales for improvisation. By emphasizing the blues and the improvisor's melodic gifts, KIND OF BLUE precipitated a major stylistic development--modal jazz.
Charles Mingus had experimented with pedal points throughout the 1950s, and the melodic freedom of Ornette Coleman's Atlantic sides was also predicated on freedom from ...
