Most compositions are made by Martin Tervoort and worked out collectively, except "Mazad" composed by D. Holland."


Artist Biographies

"Martin Tervoort is a versatile musician, playing soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone and bass clarinet in the borderline between jazz, improvised and modern music. But he also plays rock, blues, funk, soul and world music.

You can read more about the different formations in which Tervoort is active musically. He currently plays with Hardmoed Grefe (bass) in "Triptet 2", and in "Triptet 4" with Hardmoed Grefe (bass), Erik Karsemeijer (percussion) and Henk Zwerver (guitar). He also forms the "Duo Pogen" together with Erik Karsemeijer. Finally he plays in "Voort (4)", a jazz quartet with Bert Kleijn (drums), Fons Sluijter (cello) and Steve Bradshaw (violin)."

Hatcher, Gerrit
Burnt Pan Rolling Boil
(Kettle Hole Records)
Chicago saxophonist Gerrit Hatcher sees his solo saxophone performances as a format that can be both charismatic and alienating in to the listener, as he uses extreme technique and powerful streams of emotional playing in a set of improvisations: "Salt Dome" parts 1-3, and "Cooking Fuel", each wrought with frailty and bluster; impressive work.

C.995

Free improvisation from the Norwegian trio of Dorothea Okland (voice), Ferdinand Bergstrom (guitar), and Olav Abildgaard (percussion), in 7 non-idiomatic interactions of quirky dialog, Okland's fragmented language interacting with Abilgaard's quick, scrabbly approach to nonspecific objects and Bergstrom's acoustic guitar abstract progressions or chord structures; enjoyably odd.
Rodrigues / Leblanc / Lopes
Montreal
(Creative Sources)
Named for the city in which it was recorded, the trio of Karoline Leblanc on harpsichord, Ernesto Rodrigues on viola, and Paulo J Ferreira Lopes on gongs & cymbals, is a mysterious and ritualistic album, Lopes' gongs slowly intoning as the strings use unusual techniques, much of the harpsichord played inside; a subtle and beautiful reflection of historic Montreal.
