专辑简介
"These two have always been well suited - both extremely fine players working with, broadly speaking, conventional techniques. It is impossible to dislike music this elegant in conception and execution."
GUS GARSIDE - RESONANCE 1996
"The two engage in an intense musical dialogue, and the opening improvisation clocks in at a staggering 40 minutes, all of it absolutely valid and unformulaic. Rutherford has no apparent desire to deconstruct his instrument, literally or idiomatically, but there should be no doubt about how radical his language base is and how uncompromising is his improvisational approach."
RICHARD COOK and/or BRIAN MORTON - 'The Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD' 1996
"A superb example of completely free improvisation with no written music involved. The title ROGUES may be some kind of merging of last names but it also exemplifies the spirit of English free music, the need of the musicians to synthesise their experiences by taking everything that had come before, and everything going on around them, and stand apart from it. Fast, happy, propulsive, beautifully capturing the tones and sounds of trombone and bass fiddle. The fact that music of this calibre was recorded live in an English pub represents some kind of peak of western civilisation."
DAVID LEE - CODA 1998
"ROGUES is a duo recording from a 1988 concert featuring the extraordinary trombonist Paul Rutherford with the equally adept Paul Rogers on bass. Trombone and bass duos may seem like a rather lugubrious combination, and this isn't music that leaps out and grabs you, but there is some fabulous playing here that slowly but surely sucks you in. There are two long duets: the first has some great moments and justifies its 40-minute length by getting better and better as it goes along. The second is shorter and they achieve some of those passages of apparently telepathic interplay that make you wonder how it's possible to play so freely and yet so tightly. Between the duets are two shorter solos. Both are fine but I especially enjoyed Paul Rogers' witty and brilliant tour through all manner of approaches to the bass."
DAVE RAMSDEN - OPPROBRIUM 1998
"Rutherford runs the whole spectre of his instrument, exploiting all its connotations, from comedy to drama. But Rogers is the surprise here. He adopted that night a slightly jazzy style. Halfway in Rogues 1 he locked into a bass riff, enjoying it, staying there for a couple of minutes to let the trombonist build a solo before taking it apart. His sparse use of the bow during the duets gave more intensity to these moments, especially in the last couple minutes of Rogues 2. His solo is marred by pub noises and tape hiss at the beginning, but it doesn't matter: his impersonation of a classical bassist gradually going mad makes up for it."
