    Genre: Jazz, Free Improvisation

    *Strings with Evan Parker* (2001) is an experimental free improvisation album featuring renowned British saxophonist Evan Parker alongside a string ensemble. The album blends Parker’s intense, circular breathing-based saxophone techniques with the extended techniques of string players, creating dense, textural soundscapes. Rather than traditional melodies or rhythms, the music focuses on timbre, interaction, and spontaneous structure. The result is a rich, abstract sonic experience that pushes the boundaries of chamber music and free jazz. *Strings with Evan Parker* is highly regarded in avant-garde circles for its innovation and for showcasing Parker's deep commitment to collective improvisation.

    Evan Parker - Strings with Evan Parker (2001)

    personnel :

    Bouzouki, Guitar, Electronics – Peter Cusack
    Cello – Marcio Mattos, Mark Wastell
    Double Bass – John Edwards
    Guitar – John Russell
    Harp – Rhodri Davies
    Soprano Saxophone – Evan Parker
    Violin – Phil Durrant
    Violin, Electronics – Kaffe Matthews

    This project is credited to Evan Parker's name for convenience, but also because he instigated it. In January 1997, the saxophonist invited a couple dozen improvisers to the studio to perform some large-scale pieces (the last track comes from this session). A year later, he reiterated the invitation, but this time only to a handful of string instruments and electronics players. Nine turned up, all from the British free improv scene. Strings With Evan Parker, a three-disc set, contains the whole session. Parker gave very basic instructions and joined in on soprano saxophone only on about one-third of the music performed that day. The set starts with short pieces ("The Sitting on the Roof Series," a warm opener), then moves to middle-length improvs. The 28-minute "Double Headed Serpent" is a dronelike piece on which Parker later overdubbed a solo – a conclusive experiment. Disc two features mostly subgroup pieces. Each participant was given the chance to choose a number of players to lead a short improvisation. Results vary but are all interesting. Disc three contains another half-hour long improv with Parker performing with the group in real time. "Single Headed Serpent" is the same take as "Doubled Headed Serpent," minus the overdubbed solo. This experiment with a string ensemble is much more conclusive than the one Parker led with the TonArt Ensemble (released as Brot & Honig on True Muze, 2000). The music follows the vein of the Spontaneous Music Ensemble or the London Improvisers Orchestra (for a more contemporaneous reference). But it seems the album would have had more punch if limited to a two-CD set by omitting "Single Headed Serpent" (it feels redundant), "Flying Spark," and the weaker "The Ghost Series." The price tag accompanying this set makes it an item for fans only.~François Couture
