DMG @ The Stone Volume 1
''DMG @ The Stone Volume 1: December 22, 2006'' is a live album by the Stone Quartet: bassist Joëlle Léandre, trumpeter and flutist Roy Campbell, pianist Marilyn Crispell, and violist Mat Maneri. It was recorded on December 22, 2006, at The Stone in New York City, and was released in 2008 by the Downtown Music Gallery's DMG/ARC label. Reception A reviewer for ''The Free Jazz Collective'' awarded the album a full five stars, and stated: "The four musicians... feel like like-minded spirits on this free and open album, full of slow and intimistic harmonic confrontations between their four instruments. The slowness of their hesitatingly exploring of and expanding on the created sounds gives a rather accessible listen, with hauntingly beautiful parts in it." Kurt Gottschalk of ''All About Jazz'' wrote: "The playing is strong throughout, but it's particularly nice to hear Campbell pull back. He plays flute for part of the set, but his muted trumpet sounds especially sweet agains ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Free Improvisation
Free improvisation or free music is improvised music without any general rules, instead following the intuition of its performers. The term can refer to both a technique—employed by any musician in any genre—and as a recognizable genre of experimental music in its own right. Free improvisation, as a genre of music, developed primarily in the U.K. as well as the U.S. and Europe in the mid to late 1960s, largely as an outgrowth of free jazz and contemporary classical music. Exponents of free improvised music include saxophonists Evan Parker, Anthony Braxton, Peter Brötzmann, and John Zorn, composer Pauline Oliveros, trombonist George E. Lewis, guitarists Derek Bailey, Henry Kaiser and Fred Frith, bassists Damon Smith and Jair-Rohm Parker Wells and the improvising groups Spontaneous Music Ensemble and AMM. Characteristics In the context of music theory, free improvisation denotes the shift from a focus on harmony and structure to other dimensions of music, su ...

2008 Live Albums
8 (eight) is the natural number following 7 and preceding 9. Etymology English ''eight'', from Old English '', æhta'', Proto-Germanic ''*ahto'' is a direct continuation of Proto-Indo-European '' *oḱtṓ(w)-'', and as such cognate with Greek and Latin , both of which stems are reflected by the English prefix oct(o)-, as in the ordinal adjective ''octaval'' or ''octavary'', the distributive adjective is '' octonary''. The adjective ''octuple'' (Latin ) may also be used as a noun, meaning "a set of eight items"; the diminutive '' octuplet'' is mostly used to refer to eight siblings delivered in one birth. The Semitic numeral is based on a root ''*θmn-'', whence Akkadian ''smn-'', Arabic ''ṯmn-'', Hebrew ''šmn-'' etc. The Chinese numeral, written ( Mandarin: ''bā''; Cantonese: ''baat''), is from Old Chinese ''*priāt-'', ultimately from Sino-Tibetan ''b-r-gyat'' or ''b-g-ryat'' which also yielded Tibetan '' brgyat''. It has been argued that, as the cardinal ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
