derek bailey: chitarre elettriche & acustiche
andrea centazzo: percussioni

reprint in cd of the 1977 recordings of the duets between derek bailey and andrea centazzo, that originally were released on the lp drops issued by ictus records.this is considered one of the best performance of the period of the english guitarist for its explosive clarity, dialogic energy and overflowing imagination.

if this is true deserves a large merit the choice of the two musicians to work inside compositional structures, sometimes very opened, that channelled the creative energy of the performers. the many sides of drops are created by the restraint of performing limits with specific choices of timbres, dynamics, tempos for every track.

as centazzo points out in the linear notes «we explored some aspects of our improvisational art, gleaned the best elements from our baggage of music memories and exposed them clearly and confidently. therefore these are compositions of ... improvised music».

no-fi (uk) #neu 011 cd

derek bailey / tony bevan / paul hession / otomo yoshihide “good cop bad cop” compact disc

no hiding place / softly softly (18:10)
morse (16:35)
the bill (6:47)
good cop bad cop (9:47)
flying squad (19:59)

february 2009 release ; essential set of free-improv from the one-off quartet of derek bailey, otomo yoshihide, paul hession, and tony bevan, recorded back in 2003 ...

oddly, while otomo’s presence is not as easy to single out, derek and paul hession are pretty much on fire for the greater duration, lighting off one round after another of tense interplay, with bevan bringing a raspy “fire-music” lineage energy to the proceedings ... highly recommended !!!

derek bailey / tony bevan / paul hession / otomo yoshihide – ‘good cop, bad cop’ cd

recorded at frakture festival in liverpool, 2003. bailey and otomo have famously sent shockwaves through international notions of improvisation over the years, and bevan and hession are rightly regarded as part of the very backbone of the uk’s free music scene. this incredible document of the coming together of 4 legendary performers for an outstanding set that is essential listening for anyone with an interest in musical freedom.

straw 2 gold pictures (usa) #s2g 002 dvd

derek bailey “playing for friends on 5th street” digital versatile disc

derek bailey playing for friends on 5th street (51:00)

2004 release ; dvd covering an intimate performance given the same year by derek bailey at bruce gallanter’s then recently re-located “downtown music gallery” shop. the dvd is professionally authored & replicated (it has a menu & everything!) ; the image & sound quality are superb. given derek’s recent passing into other planes of there, this film takes on a whole new level of importance as it documents what was most likely derek’s final visit to new york city ...

<--- begin tangent --->

when i was 17: the first time i went into the city by myself to go record shopping in the village; the first place i stopped was dmg. bruce was immediately very friendly when i asked him which derek bailey cd would be a good one to start with (my guitar teacher, chris amelar, had that week built up the “aura” of derek bailey: “the most unconventional guitar player out there” ; that he had been known for playing two guitars at the same time, etc...) bruce, after running through my likes and dislikes in regards to experimental music, settled on the “han” duo with han bennink on incus ; a disc which, to say the least, shaped my past & future vision(s) of improvisational and composed music quite drastically...

since then, and to this day, dmg is one of the best record stores in the world for experimental music. i had the pleasure of dealing with bruce in the capacity of his “sales rep” for forced exposure until my retirement in 2001, and still when i go to new york i find most of what i’m looking for in the racks at dmg. i highly recommend visting if you find yourself in nyc...
