Eternal EP
Insistent rhythm trax from Kopy on Stefan Schneider’s TAL, reinforced with remixes by the boss’s Harmonious Thelonious, plus Elena Colombi, and Dynamo Dreesen with SJ Tequilla Like her half of a 2019 split with Tentenko, Kopy’s solo debut proper trades in a purely rhythmic language of tuned percussive hits deftly dubbed and harnessed in wonky syncopation. ‘Fujiko’ is the kinkier of the two, with nuff cowbell action and grubby bass jabs, whereas ‘Lok’ holds down more restless sort of dembow slos…

Argentinian maverick improviser Anla Courtis (Reynols) teaming up with Norwegian multidiciplinary vikings Lasse Marhaug and Jon Wesseltoft.

Event '76
Wonderfully varied Free Improv, with a nice balance of different elements to keep it interesting (and not overly self-indulgent). One of those elements is Demetrio Stratos' voice, which is put to good use as a wild instrument (complete with duck quacking). It's rare for a band, that features Steve Lacy and Paul Lytton, to pull off free improv so completely convincingly when it is not within their normal milieu, but this performance is a testament to their musicianship and their listening skills.…
