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 Bar Torque Review

The fourth of four CD reissues taken from Art Pepper's three nights at the Village Vanguard in July 1977, as with the other releases, adds one selection ("Scrapple from the Apple") to the music of the original LP; all of the performances on this and the other sets have since been made available as part of a massive nine-CD box set. The great altoist was clearly excited to be playing at the famous New York club, and his rhythm section -- pianist George Cables, ...

Bar Torque album
$6.75 
John McLaughlin (electric guitar); Dave Holland (bass); Tony Williams (drums).
With IN A SILENT WAY, the elements of popular music, blues and electronics that had been implicit in Miles Davis' previous recordings now came center stage, and the trumpeter never looked back again. IN A SILENT WAY is Miles' BIRTH OF THE COOL/MILES AHEAD/KIND OF BLUE for the rock generation.
Gone are the rhythmic and harmonic trappings of bebop. In their place, Miles conjures a hypnotic, subliminal dance pulse and an airy, celestial drone of electric keyboards. Miles fell in love with the bell tones and flute-like textures of ...

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 ...
| | Alejandro Escovedo Bourbonitis Blues CD (1999)
Bar Torque music CDs
$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 ...
