The resident band and guest have each played their own music, then comes the moment they come together, the clash, the unexpected, the meeting of minds and ears.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo, what happens when there are 20 guests, with 22 new pieces, all in two marathon events? This was the premise of John Cumming, director of the EFG London Jazz Festival and Peter Wiegold in the conceiving of Expect the Unexpected, when planning a celebration of 25 years of the Festival.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach guest would be asked to contribute a one-page score, then the performances would take place without rehearsal, with just some basic directing signals given by Peter. A wonderful variety of pieces emerged, from written instructions through to graphic scores to fully-fleshed grooves, melodies, and harmonies. The expansive set of choices of guest musicians was made by John, ranging from exciting young talent that had emerged through Serious' Take-5 scheme to experienced and distinguished UK jazz musicians.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the two marathon days at Club In\\xe9gales in November 2017 each performance lasted some 20-25' and have been edited here to 3-7'. Unrehearsed, Peter Wiegold signalled which sections to go to, and used his basic signals like 'loop' 'solo' 'sustain' and so on to bring moments of focus. But often the bands took over and the music did evolve into quite unexpected places, such as the beautiful timeless end to Kuljit Bhamra's Tabla Tune, which began as a simple three-note melody. Other highlights include:\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristian Forshaw's exquisite spontaneous melody for the poem The sky drops a tear; It landed in the ocean in Alex Roth's opening piece.\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe incredible free flowing solo from Byron Wallen over his 5\/4 opening groove on The Carotid Canal, followed later by violinist Jackie Shave with a singing high improvisation over his harmonies.\\r\u003cbr\u003eHyelim Kim's Korean-style score for In the Boxes which led to some crunchy, and stylish, Korean percussive playing. And Hyelim's distinctive, original playing of the taegu?m flute throughout.\\r\u003cbr\u003ePat Thomas' Syntax for Muhal where the players had just written instructions. For example - 'Bb\/C\/F minor \\xbe' become the eloquent and soulful section here.\\r\u003cbr\u003eWild and unstoppable saxophone solos by James Mainwaring - and a graphic score of his that went out round a circle from the big bang to a black hole all in 20'.\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe free spirit of individual trajectories the players took through Kim Macari's graphic score Arundel.\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe spontaneous orchestrations of Matthew Bourne's single chord in 40.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery piece brought something new, and overall they make a wonderful tapestry of contemporary jazz composing and playing - mixed with the In\\xe9gales magic. The CD was edited by Peter Wiegold, recorded by Louie Marlow-Smith and mastered by Chris Lewis. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSadly, John Cumming, much loved director of the EFG London Jazz Festival and Serious for those 25 years, passed away in 2020, and this CD is dedicated to him, perhaps appropriately beginning with, The sky drops a tear; It landed in the ocean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sky dropped a tear; it landed in the ocean\\u2026\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Carotid Canal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the boxes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeesaw\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpansion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOptur\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn an old theatre\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarte Blanche\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSyntax for Muhal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnequal Baobabs (goal by Garrincha)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeavy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you really want to hear about it\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeeing, is believing, is seeing!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e40\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArundel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReception\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTabla Tune\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55129044943233,"sku":"1337727","price":15.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/41LCYecDb4L._SL1500.jpg?v=1766809764","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1337727","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
