“A very fine, expansive and at the same time bracingly spartan set... really enjoyable, intelligent music.”         

                                           -  Brian Olewnick, Just Outside

 

“Keenly heard music concentrating on minute gestural nuance...  

An eloquent statement.”             -  Philip Clark, The Wire

 

“A world in which silence, or near silence, is as important as producing a sound…. One that unfolds its beauty in a peaceful way.”

                                           -   Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly

“Aren’t albums that trash instrumental archetypes great? ...The result is stratified like stone or rock formations, but with each voice also allowed freedom of movement.  The intensity of instrumental nuance is the trademark obsession of the improviser.”     

                                           -  Philip Clark,  The Wire

 

“This trio offers strong, intense listening music...proving the endless possibilities that are available within improvisation.”

                                            -  Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly

A unique celebration of the work of Hugh Davies, one of the great pioneers of improvised music who died three years ago.  Solo recordings of Hugh from thirty years ago are played back to three musicians who have been influenced by Hugh, and they improvise around his music to create a living homage to his memory.  

 

“Totally fantastic....Each piece is something of a gem...beautiful recording.”                  -  Brian Olewnick, Just Outside
 

To accompany the release of the ‘for hugh davies’ cd,  an archive cd-r featuring all of Hugh Davies’ recordings from 1969-1977 that were used in the production of the cd.   Seventy-nine minutes of historic music, previously unissued and featuring five solos by Hugh plus a duet with Richard Orton for two ‘shozygs’ - one of the many simple but extraordinary instruments that Hugh invented.

 

“It gives you a very fine impression of how this great man sounded.”                         -  Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly
