Tom Chant, John Edwards, Eddie Prévost

All Change captures a London concert by the trio of Tom Chant on tenor and soprano saxophones, John Edwards on double bass and Eddie Prévost on drums. Prévost plays a conventional kit here, far from the bowed metals of AMM, and the result sits squarely in free jazz, two long improvisations that keep changing direction, as the title promises.

The concert was given at the Network Theatre, Waterloo, on 13 June 2012, and the disc holds it in two parts of 43 and 30 minutes. Reviewing it in Dusted in January 2015, Marc Medwin heard in Prévost's kit playing the same mastery of timbre, orchestration and timing that informs AMM's music. He singled out the opening of the second part. Edwards and Chant hang a near-static interval in the air, Chant widens it with huge register leaps, and the dialogue intensifies until Edwards stops it dead. Then Prévost, who has been waiting, enters with a thud, a pitched rumble and a few sharp snaps. Medwin compared that sense of placement to Duke Ellington's sparse piano of the mid-1930s. Elsewhere Chant's soprano can pass for a flute, and the trio swings before diving into dense free jazz. The brush-and-arco exchanges between Prévost and Edwards suggest extra percussionists. In Medwin's words, "force and serenity change places at a moment's notice".
