Evan Parker / Barry Guy / Paul Lytton: Concert In Vilnius

Read "Concert In Vilnius" reviewed by John Sharpe


In a world riven by climate chaos and the attack on truth, on both sides of the Atlantic, it is reassuring that some things remain constant. At this stage of an existence dating back to the early 80s, the superlative British trio of saxophonist Evan Parker, bassist Barry Guy and drummer Paul Lytton plays only a few concerts each year. When they do, the results tend to the spectacular, and Concert In Vilnius only affirms that. In fact, when taken ...

Fifteen titles and thirty-six years later, ...

Evan Parker / Barry Guy / Paul Lytton: Nightwork: Live At The Sunset

Read "Nightwork: Live At The Sunset" reviewed by Mark Redlefsen


Nightwork: Live At The Sunset captures an amazing live performance in early 2010 from saxophonist Evan Parker, bassist Barry Guy, and percussionist Paul Lytton. The virtuosity and high communication level between these three improvisational masters is front and center for its two improvised pieces. There is a stark contrast in how the three work together in this trio versus the larger context of Parker's Electro-Acoustic Ensemble, creating a sound that appears brighter and more direct.
