Paul Rutherford (trombonist)
Paul William Rutherford (29 February 1940 – 5 August 2007) was an English free improvising trombonist. Biography Born in Greenwich, South East London, England, Rutherford initially played saxophone but switched to trombone. During the 1960s, he taught at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. In 1970, Rutherford, guitarist Derek Bailey and bassist Barry Guy formed the improvising group Iskra 1903, which lasted until 1973. The formation was documented on a double album from Incus, later reissued with much bonus material on the three-CD set ''Chapter One'' (Emanem, 2000). A film soundtrack was separately released as ''Buzz Soundtrack''. Iskra 1903 was one of the earliest free improvising groups to omit a drummer/percussionist, permitting the players to explore a range of textures and dynamics which set it apart from such other contemporary improvising ensembles as SME and AMM. The group's unusual name is the Slavic word for "spark"; it was the title of the ''Iskra'' re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Iskra³
''Iskra³'' is an album by trombonist Paul Rutherford. It was recorded on September 26, 2004, at Lawrence Electronic Operations in the Chilterns, England, and was released in 2005 by Psi Records. On the album, Rutherford is joined by computer musicians Robert Jarvis and Lawrence Casserley. Reception In a review for AllMusic, François Couture wrote: "Computer, trombone and computer are locked in a complex three-way dance. Rutherford is left ample room to breathe and play. His signature tone provides the backbone of the whole album, Casserley and Jarvis explode, fragment and refract the trombone's input, and these digitalized ghost images trigger from Rutherford a kind of interaction that is strikingly different from his behavior with acoustic instrumentalists... ''Iskra3'' may remain an oddity in Rutherford's discography, but it is more than a simple concession to the electro-acoustic improv trend of the mid-'00s."
