Following on from the re-issue of Topography of the Lungs, Otoroku is proud to follow up with another legendary free-improvised document, this one from the duo of Derek Bailey and Evan Parker, originally released on the INCUS label in 1975. The London Concert is one of those rare recordings that capture musicians at a special moment of confluence, a moment when procedures are proving fruitful and before practice has hardened into dogma, when different visions are not yet turned into position papers (insert your list here). There are clearly moments in the London Concert when things that have not precisely happened before emerge from one partner, are caught and supported by the other in a way that, too, is still new 40 some years on, and which prods the initiator to hold and develop a particular line with the clear support of the other. – Stuart BroomerThe London Concert comes in a limited edition of 500 copies printed on reverse board with printed inner sleeve and newly commissioned liner notes by Stuart Broomer.
Après la réédition de Topography of the Lungs, c’est au tour d’un autre document légendaire de l’improvisation libre européenne de revoir le jour grâce au Cafe Oto à Londres. Initialement paru chez Incus en 1975, “The London Concert” est la rencontre de Derek Bailey, guitare électrique et Evan Parker, saxophone ténor et soprano. Deux vieux complices avant une rupture historique. Improvisation libre et non idiomatique où la matière sonore des deux instruments marque les fondements d’une musique en construction.500 copies avec un texte de Stuart Broomer.
