Schlippenbach Trio: Features

Read "Features" reviewed by Maurizio Zerbo


Quindici brevi bozzetti testimoniano la libertà espressiva di tre menti culturalmente aperte quali sono quelle di Alexander von Schlippenbach, Evan Parker e Paul Lovens, protese verso l'ignoto. C'è tutto in questo CD: slancio, energia, volatile progettualità, elementi precipui di una musica materica che vola in alto verso forme astratte ed atonali.

The Schlippenbach Trio's latest release is an album couched in celebratory anniversaries: the ensembles 40th coupled to their chosen venue's 90th. Recorded at the vaunted German playhouse in the fall of last year it recalls their last Intakt outing in that saxophonist Evan Parker leaves his straight horn capped and cased. The resulting focus on tenor is something of a treat though it also means that his circular breathing feats of stamina and precision play out with comparative brevity and ...
