Pascal will be curating a two-day festival of improvised music in Paris at the Espace Jemappes on July 6th and 7th. He will of course be playing, along with myself, Jean Bordé (bass), Bertrand Gauguet (saxes), Simon Fell (bass) and some visiting Brits, Messrs Turner, Russell and Beresford. Quite who’s going to play with whom when is still to be determined, but if you’d like a weekend a Paris give it a thought. I hope the event will be recorded. Maybe you knew also that Pascal recorded in London with John Russell and Roger Smith earlier this year. Let’s hope those recordings see the light of day soon.
Thanks for the review.

Thanks for having the patience to read it!

Nah, Prevost was definitely swinging on Sunday… Maybe not quite bebop! I bought a couple of CDs off him at the event, I’ll have to see whether it was just the mood on the day!

Thanks for this great review. I almost went to this at the weekend, and you make me wish I had.

I’m amused by your comments about Eddie Prevost “swinging”. I once went to see Eddie play in a very small venue somewhere, and he was sitting at a table having a drink. A friend of mine got talking to him about what he did, and he said he was a drummer. What sort of drummer? He paused. A jazz drummer? “I’m not sure that is what you would call it” he replied.

Other than that…Evan Parker, Alan Wilkinson, John Edwards, Ashley Wales (and I’ve seen Nat Catchpole play a couple of times before) – sounds like good stuff to me. Never heard of Pascal Marzan I’m afraid so no recommendations forthcoming here, but if I do see something I’ll check it out
