Last Sunday, 11th April from www.lazybird.org: "This Sunday, Lazybird is honoured to host one of the most fearsome exponents of free-jazz music of recent times. Chris Corsano and Paul Flaherty are a drums/sax duo who have teamed up in recent years (Paul Flaherty has been playing and recording since the mid-70's.)Their set at last weekend’s "All Tomorrow’s Parties" festival in the UK (where they played as half of DREAM AKTION alongside Thurston and Lee from Sonic Youth) excited and amazed in spades. A rapid-fire combination of ballistic drumming, bullets of anticipated and delayed rhythms set against a bubbling molten river of skronking sax and wailing, shrill harmonics. Impulsive, propulsive, relentlessly inventive and absolutely free. What awaits us should be less of a mere gig and more of a seismic event that disintegrates the Richter scale and declares itself an unmitigated NATURAL SUCCESS !" Its so true....it was a free-jazz explosion of drums and sax and i never heard and my drummer mate, Col, has never seen drumming like it. The drummer was so fast and without ever missing a beat, he almost took apart the drumkit as he was playing it, using symbols as drumsticks, using his feet, taking off his jumper and covering a drum, using elbows.......! He'd stop suddenly and the space would be instantly and naturally filled with frenetic sax sounds of equal intensity letting the drummer Swat-team his way in again for a further rocket-propelled racket. I went out for a smoke with Col afterwards and the lazybird crowd outside was in absolute awe at what they just witnessed. One guy had never been to lazybird before and had just wandered in and you could tell, his life just changed. Madness! |
