Evan Parker Six Of One Import LP (Vinyl)
& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;Limited Edition Of 500! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;strong & gt;Transferred From Original Master Tapes By Thomas Hall At Abbey Road Studios! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;Originally recorded and released in 1980, Six of One beautifully captures the detail in Evan Parker's high frequency split tones for which he is now perhaps better known. Five years on from Saxophone Solos and with circular breathing and polyphonics well-worn into his live performances, Parker's experiments here produce sustained passages of brilliant flight. Set into the echoes and resonances of a St Judes On The Hill church, the results are stunning. Transferred from the original master tapes by Thomas Hall at Abbey Road Studios and released in an edition of 500. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;quote source & quot; & gt; The recital commences with a split tone line of twining sine waves that expand and contract in telepathic collusion. Pitch dynamics narrow and redefine themselves more emphatically on the second piece where sliding legato rivulets born of Parker's compartmentalized tonguing create the sonic semblance of up to three separate voices emanating from the single reed speech center. It's a feat he's accomplished innumerable times since, but every fresh hearing never fails to open an aperture into a style of improvisatory expression that is at once wholly alien and intensely mesmerizing. There's also something strangely subterranean about the flood of sounds, like the rush percolating water through an underground aquifer system en route to unknown tributaries. The third piece trades tightly braided tones for leaner and more linear phrases, but a vaporous trail of phantom notes still clings to the central line. And so it goes, with the illusion of repetition guiding the momentum, though Parker never explicitly repeats himself. & lt;footer & gt; -Derek Taylor, All About Jazz, 2002 & lt;/footer & gt; & lt;/blockquote & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;www.allmusic.com & quot; & gt; Every track on this album is worth hearing, and some of them are quite startlingly lovely. & lt;footer & gt; -Rick Anderson, Allmusic.com, 4.5/5 stars & lt;/footer & gt; & lt;/blockquote & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;Limited Edition - 500 Copies & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Transferred From The Original Master Tapes By Thomas Hall At Abbey Road Studios & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Remastered By James Dunn & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Vinyl LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Import & lt;/li & gt; & lt;!--More features go here in & lt;li & gt; tags-- & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;musicians & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Musicians & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;table & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Evan Parker & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;sax & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;!--More musician rows go here-- & gt; & lt;/table & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side A: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;One Of Six & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Two Of Six & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Three Of Six & lt;/li & gt; & lt;!--More tracks go here in & lt;li & gt; tags-- & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side B: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Four Of Six & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Five Of Six & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Six Of One & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

Evan Parker Saxophone Solos Import LP (Vinyl)
& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;Seminal 1975 Debut Album On Vinyl LP! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;strong & gt;Limited Edition - 500 Copies! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;OTOROKU reissues Evan Parker's first solo LP Saxophone Solos. Recorded by Martin Davidson in 1975 at the Unity Theatre in London, at that time the preferred concert venue of the Musicians' Co-operative, Parker's densely woven and often cyclical style has yet to form; instead throaty murmurs appear under rough-hewn whistles and calls - the wildly energetic beginnings of an extraordinary career. Reissued with liner notes from Seymour Wright in an edition of 500. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt; & quot;The four pieces across the two sides of Saxophone Solos - 'Aerobatics 1' to '4' - are testing, pressured, bronchial spectaculars of innovation and invention and determination. Evan tells four stories of exploration and imagination without much obvious precedent. Abstract Beckettian cliff-hanging detection/logic/magic/mystery. The conic vessel of the soprano saxophone here recorded contains the ur-protagonists: seeds, characters, settings, forces, conflicts, motions, for new ideas, to delve, to tap and to draw from it story after story as he has on solo record after record for 45 years. 'Aerobatics 1-3' were recorded on June 17th 1975, by Martin Davidson at Parker's first solo performance. This took place at London's Unity Theatre in Camden. 'Aerobatics 4' was recorded on September 9th the same year, by Jost Gebers in the then FMP studio in Charlottenburg, Berlin. Music of balance and gravity, fulcra, effort, poise, and enquiry. Sounds thrown and shaken into and out of air, metal and wood. It is - as the titles suggest - spectacular. & quot; -Seymour Wright, 2020 & lt;/p & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;www.allmusic.com & quot; & gt; These pieces are about sonic texture, tonality and atonality, and why they're both the same thing, and they reveal also the mechanical possibilities for the instrument that weren't even considered before he came along - things like playing in all three registers of the instrument at the same time. ...These early recordings of Parker's solo performances pointed the way for a body of music that is singular in its achievement, and stand the test of time on their own as brilliant, investigative, and provocative works of a musical firebrand. & lt;footer & gt; -Thom Jurek, Allmusic.com, 4.5/5 stars & lt;/footer & gt; & lt;/blockquote & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;Limited Edition - 500 Copies & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Liner Notes By Seymour Wright & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Vinyl LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Import & lt;/li & gt; & lt;!--More features go here in & lt;li & gt; tags-- & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;musicians & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Musicians & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;table & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Evan Parker & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;sax & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;!--More musician rows go here-- & gt; & lt;/table & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side A: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Aerobatics 1 & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Aerobatics 4 & lt;/li & gt; & lt;!--More tracks go here in & lt;li & gt; tags-- & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side B: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Aerobatics 2 & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Aerobatics 3 & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;
