Slamfest DOUBLE CD with five groups - Dreamtime (Evans, Tippett etc.) Elton Dean/Howard Riley, Coxhill/Haslam/Rutherford, Harrison Smith Quartet, Jim Dvorak/Phil Minton This first SLAM CD release for 2001 is a live recording of the two nights of music played at The Premises, London, July 1999 to celebrate the tenth year of SLAM CDs. The line up presents an impressive array of musicians prominent on the British improvising scene - most of which have appeared on previous SLAM releases. The recording is another example of the impressive abilities of soundman Dill Katz. The music by five different groups fills two CDs; the double CD package is offered at the same price as a SLAM single CD.
..a powerful blast from a pungent and characterful corner of contemporary music. Chris Potter, The Guardian Add to Shopping Basket
