Ce disque est donc un hommage au musicien disparu. Mais le propos n’est pas tant d’emprunter les voies musicales arpentées par Favors que de perpétuer son esprit : celui de la recherche d’un fragile équilibre, d’une musique sur le fil. Il s’agit avec Favors, comme ici avec le contrebassiste Bruno Duplant et ses compagnons, de tenir le jazz à distance mais de rester en son champ, de rester exigent en même temps qu’accessible. Ici, comme là, le contrebassiste est à la fois celui qui emmène les autres musiciens dans des directions aventureuses tout en demeurant un point de repère, un pivot. Ici, c’est lui qui créé le climat, donne le « ton » de chacun des morceaux de ce disque, refusant souvent à sa contrebasse toute résonance, la rendant sèche, acérée, vacillante en même temps que déterminée. La musique jouée par Bruno Duplant, Phil Hargreaves (saxophones) et Lee Noyes (percussions), est une musique de suspens, où les sons émis ne semblent prendre toute leur valeur qu’en tant que signes annonciateurs de ce qui va suivre. En témoignent les titres des morceaux qui, lus à la suite, offrent un poème. Les trois hommes donnent vie à une musique de l’oubli du monde présent et du temps qui passe – musique de l’intériorité, tout en retenue, à la manière de fantômes ou de lambeaux de mélodies convoqués par cette configuration en trio vieille comme le monde : peaux + souffle + cordes. Elémentaire. <em>Pierre Lemarchand / Le Son du Grisli. </em> http://grisli.canalblog.com/archives/2009/06/29/14239006.html Malachi, c’est Malachi Favors, contrebassiste de l’Art Ensemble of Chicago depuis sa création en 1967 jusqu’à son décès en 2004.

]]> Comment on insubcdr07 HARGREAVES/NOYES/DUPLANT Malachi by insub http://netlabelsnoise.wordpress.com/2009/06/22/insubcdr07-hargreavesnoyesduplant-malachi/#comment-160 insub Fri, 26 Jun 2009 16:48:30 +0000 http://netlabelsnoise.wordpress.com/?p=228#comment-160 This is a piece of modern jazz that I really like. A sax trio that improvises freely, without melody and rhythm, yet with a very controlled and sensitive approach to their music. It all sounds vulnerable and hesititating, which is surprising for musicians that have their background in experimental electronic music and punk, but who play purely acoustic here. The trio consists of Phil Hargreaves on sax, Lee Noyes on percussion and Bruno Duplant on bass. All pieces fall within the same mode of playing: soft, slow, with lots of open spaces and with the three instruments filling the open space with pointillistic phrases and sounds, but sufficiently extended to create a great sense of lyricism. Total free form often leads to a level of abstraction that makes listening difficult, but that is less the case here : the music flows organically, through very concentrated interaction, with lots of respect for each other and the fragile music they create. Yet it intense throughout, and that's possibly the greatest result of the music : the slow tension full of contradictions between freedom and form, between openness and density, between avant-garde and sometimes simple phrases. But it works. It works really well. This album is available for free download on the internet, or in hard copy in limited edition. In my humble opinion, this again demonstrates the lack of knowledge of many labels. This trio deserves to be officially released. While the summer jazz festivals are crammed with commercial artists who are hard to classify as jazz, the real creative jazz artists are kept far away from the undiscerning multitudes. Too bad, too bad. How can we bring the new and creative jazz under a broader attention? It was the objective of this blog, but we're preaching to the converted... http://freejazz-stef.blogspot.com/2009/06/phil-hargreaves-lee-noyes-bruno-duplant.html This is a piece of modern jazz that I really like.

Released on Portugese netlabel Testube, it is at once found/environmental sound collected, collated and fused into shapes. Then moments of sound echo of improvisational jazz, or at least the stripped echoes of the oeuvre, or even semi-precise mimicry triggering found moments in the audience. Yet the action of extreme electronic manipulation is never far from the palette and the guise of nature as a backdrop to audio acoustic experimentation is as sensible a template as any. Even the sound of the chime, catching the wind, or the approximation of it combined with a sonic hum/purr and gently advancing triangle alarm is enough of a sound argument. Then there is the central track la Banquise living up to its name, a feast of noise terror, (a humorous notion in itself), mutating in to crisp audio action of imaginary violated string experiments on a vanquished piano; reason enough to display control and succinctness of digital prowess. http://www.cyclicdefrost.com/blog/?p=3109 Morsure Souffle , has all the audio hallmarks of a highly subtle sound collage.

The label is run by Geneve sound activist Laurent Peter aka d'incise, who's responsible for the glitches in Diatribes as well. For "Piano(s)", Diatribes is accompanied by Jacques Demierre and Johann Bourquenez of Plaistow. Jacques Demierre uses the piano as a source of sound rather than a classical instrument. Part Cecil Taylor part John Cage, his play is full of little noises and surprising tonal cascades, percussive and herein the perfect complement for Cyril Bondis' poetic and introspect drums. Between the clusters, there is a lot of space- or none. A refreshing and rich concept that requires concentrated listening admittedly. On two tracks, Plaistow head Johann Bourquenez joins the gang. His approach to piano is much different from Demierre's delicate boned experimentalism.

As heard on their recent Insubordinations netlabel release, they take an approach firmly rooted in the clanky, fluid, theoretically rigorous yet sonically elastic techniques of European free improvisation. Witness Cyril Bondi (drums, percussions) and D’Incise (laptop, objects) mixing it up with pianist Jacques Demierre and Johann Bourquenez: “Chants Évadés” is all fragmented pianism and round-the-outside drumming, but shot through with wavering synthesized sound, a groggy drone that holds the whole thing together. “Et Puis Partir,” in contrast, is more willfully haphazard, less about anything closely approximating song, and more a matter of noise for its own intrinsic sake, each instrumentalist locating small sounds, from hazy upper-register playing by Demierre, to tribal taunts from Bondi. The introduction of D’Incise’s laptop into the sound world of free improv makes perfect sense, given free improvisation’s ever-present focus on using familiar instruments to make all manner of unfamiliar noises. The laptop expands that palette considerably, and at no point in these sets stands out as inappropriate or jarring.
