WellSprings SuiteHarri Sjostrom (Soprano), Philipp Wachsmann (Violin/Viola/Electronics), Paul Rutherford (Trombone), Teppo Hauta-aho (Double Bass), Paul Lovens (Drums/Cymbals/Singing Saw)It may get lost in the shuffle, but we think this is a classic and a brilliant example of extemporaneous music exposition at its apex. This is just a brilliant exposé of the artistry of 5 supreme improvisers who combine to make so much more that the total of their considerable sums. Recorded live in Prague, we are indeed fortunate for the recorded document. Give this some dedicated listening and be inspired by its brilliance.

InnocenceJoe Gallivan (Drums), Marcio Mattos (Bass), Elton Dean (Alto Saxello), Evan Parker (Soprano), Neil Metcalf (Flute), Guy Barker (Trumpet), Gerard Presencer (Trumpet), Claude Deppa (Trumpet), Jim Dvorak (Trumpet), Paul Rutherford (Trombone), Ashley Slater (Bass Trombone)Big works by a big group. This remains our favorite Joe Gallivan recording in a career that was first documented back in 1961. Unfortunately this astounding assemblage of players was documented on only one recording, but the extended tracks offer up just the kind of intriguing power and movement that you might hope for from some of Europe’s finest improvisers. Passionate music.
