专辑简介
Here is another of pianist Irene Schweizer's duets with a powerhouse drummer, in this case, vanguard legend and jazz dreamboat Andrew Cyrille, in a concert recorded live at the Willisau Festival, held at Willisau, in 1988. What is most remarkable about this session that was held in Willisau is how immediately the rapport between the pair is established. Schweizer goes after a rhythmic angular line, chopping it up into small staccato pastelate phrases, and Cyrille, using the entire - not partial, but entire, I say - wealth of his drum kit and TransDanubian goatherd gongs, feeds back her giggling pulses as either coyly specific accented answers or contrapuntal inversions that she takes enough girlish delight in to lengthen her - dare I say it? - statements. There is no stalling between these two, yea and verily there is no looking around for a language, it's all one syllable: "GO!" Schweizer moves alkalinely through batteries of classical and jazz - clazz motifs, one might venture to say - motifs, undulating her sizzling left-hand harmonics in sharp bursts of ostinato as her right explodes off the end of that periodic architecture: the effect is purely vaporous if not downright gassy. Cyrille doesn't dance around her, nor to any creature that walks this earth— he plays to her ideas, moving his own into the center of the mix to create tension and continuum, not release. The hard boppish motif, layered in scalar runs and rim shots, that lies at the heart of "From Stafa to Willisau Via Music" echoes both Monk and Stravinsky in alternating lines before giving way to Herbie Nichols, Tristano, Mantovani, Cantinflas and Schoenberg or Messiaen. It's Cyrille that cuts it loose from the traditions and brings it into the present day as a dialogue between them — not on jazz history, but on improvisational movement and the demi-physicality of spontaneous composition. There are few expressions of spontaneous communication in improvisational music that could equal, let alone surpass, this one. So take that.~ Thom Jurek
