Mike Johnston | Mike Gilmore | Mike Khoury | Kirk Lucas ‎– The Hidden cdr



In contrast to the quartet's second release (here), here there's less emphasis on Asian music influences, and it sounds more like a straightforward avant-garde jazz album (if there's such a term), with strong chamber music leanings. Mike Khoury's violin has a dominating presence along with Mike Gilmore's vibraphone, and the mood shifts from playful improvisations to drone-like atmospheres enabled by Kirk Lucas's cello. 2007 cdr on Triple Bath.

Gerry Hemingway - Chamber Works

 

  

Gerry Hemingway is an avant-garde jazz percussionist and composer, who played with Anthony Braxton in the 1980s-90s as well as with  Cecil Tayor and Evan Parker. This cd contains superb chamber music/ modern classical for a string quarter as well as quintet and sextet, without resorting to violent discordance, but including influences from jazz as well. Highly recommended. 1999 cd on Tzadik.
