This series of sometimes stunningly beautiful, occasionally revelatory improvisations finds the avant-garde reedsman Elton Dean and the guitarist Mark Hewins in perfect sync, as Dean solos lyrically over the musical foundation of Hewins's atmospheric synthesized guitar. Recorded in the early 1990s, the duo spans electronic, jazz and ambient genres, in a free-form yet never formless set.
This CD presents an improvised duo setting with guitarist Mark Hewins, a longtime partner with a remarkable talent for atmospheric accompaniment. The music on this release focus-es on the most lyrical' dimension of Dean's saxophone playing, with melodic

The Wire (2/02, p.51) - "...Hewin's synth guitar creates an environment laden with artifice, but the gamble paid off. Dean pursues his lyrical inclinations to the verge of contemplative blowing....lovely moments occur regularly throughout the 3 pieces..."
JazzTimes (4/2002, p.84) - "...Hewins crafts continually morphing soundscapres, drones and largely static harmonic patterns....pacific and new agey enough to double as mediation music..." Elton Dean Bar Torque Songs | 1. | Bar Torque | |

| | Bobby Hutcherson Wise One CD (2009)
Bar Torque
$15.05
Unlike Bobby Hutcherson's previous super mellow effort For Sentimental Reasons, this recording is charged with increased energy and vitality, inspired by the music of John Coltrane. Hutcherson plays the part of Coltrane's tenor and soprano sax with his vibraphone quite tastefully, while guitarist Anthony Wilson adds a new chordal dimension to the music far different than a woodwind instrument. Pianist Joe Gilman is perfectly matched with his bandmates, a supple, inventive, yet forceful musician who lends great depth to the background, or in tandem with the lead instruments. California drummer and longtime confrère of Hutcherson Eddie Marshall plays as well as ever, while bassist Glenn Richman is the much lesser known but able fifth wheel. The leader is as familiar as ...

| | Max Roach Deeds, Not Words CD (1958)
Bar Torque
$8.69
Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1987, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California).
Master jazz drummer Max Roach pretty much put the "be" in bebop, playing with practically every major figure in jazz, from Bird to Dizzy to Miles to Mingus and more. It's a tribute to his own musical vision that his numerous solo recordings are just as worthy as his famous sessions. Roach's first solo date for Riverside, 1958's DEEDS, ...
| | Alejandro Escovedo Bourbonitis Blues CD (1999)
Bar Torque
$10.79 
Alejandro Escovedo has an impressive resume: he was a member of one of the first San Francisco punk bands, the Nuns, and was in one of the early country-punk bands, Rank & File, as well as the under-rated Austin roots-rockers the True Believers. He's related to both Pete Escovedo and Sheila E, and on his WITH THESE HANDS (Rykodisc) album, his backup included Willie Nelson and Jennifer Warnes. On BOURBONITIS BLUES, he mixes evocative originals ("I Was Drunk," "Sacramento & Polk") with well-chosen and unusual covers (John Cale's "Amsterdam," a tantalizingly slow take on the Gun Club's "Sex Beat," Ian Hunter's "Irene Wilde") to show his scope as an artist.
Escovedo shows a rare grasp of rock & roll history, and the blues and country roots it sprang from. Moreover, he doesn't merely rehash/recycle the past, he builds on it. His originals are thoughtful and intensely personal but never self-absorbed, and they rock with a controlled passion that recalls the Rolling Stones in their early 1970s prime. Alejandro Escovedo proves that late-night raunch can be put across with sensitivity ...
| | Herbie Mann Standing Ovation At Newport CD (1965) Reissued
Bar Torque
$10.49
The performance by Herbie Mann's group was one of the high points of the 1965 Newport Jazz Festival. This album includes Mann's "Mushi Mushi" from an earlier date, but it is the lengthy versions of "Patato," "Stolen Moments," and particularly the encore "Comin' Home Baby" from Newport that are most memorable. During this period, the flutist's group included vibraphonist Dave Pike, two trombonists, the young Chick Corea on piano, bassist Earl May, drummer ...
