Hans Koch, Paul Lovens: Nephlokokkygia 1992

Read "Nephlokokkygia 1992" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Registrato nel corso del tour in terra bulgara datato 1992 (quattro sezioni, ciascuna da una località diversa, la più lunga di poco meno di un quarto d'ora), questo prezioso album coglie all'opera due liberi improvvisatori mitteleuropei di comprovata fede e militanza come lo svizzero Hans Koch e il tedesco Paul Lovens, separati da un solo anno (1948 per il primo, 1949 per il secondo), che dall'alto del loro indiscusso magistero in materia confezionano una performance mossa, vivace, ricca di temperamento, ...

Of the many chapters his art held, for many fans it is Taylor's travels to Europe that define his career. Much of it is documented in the coveted In Berlin '88 (FMP, 1989) eleven ...

Paul Lovens | Florian Stoffner: Tetratne

Read "Tetratne" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


German drummer Paul Lovens' distinguished career within European free jazz / improvising circles is well-documented. Generally speaking, he's performed with a who's who of futurists and others who tend to stretch the limits of standard musical regimens. On this outing he partners with Swiss experimental guitarist Florian Stoffner for an interconnection of spurious ideas in front of an audience in Ljubljana at the 2019 “Sound Disobedience Festival." Thanks to a crystalline soundstage the slightest details are heard amid ...
