27 Mar - Jean-Michel Van Schouwberg
Without pretension or too specific aesthetic direction, the British guitarist Ross Lambert gives us a solo guitar album at the same time subtle, endearing and exemplary. One of Eddie Pr?vost's companions among the closest and the oldest, Ross Lambert concentrated his musical activity mainly in the London community scene of radical improvisation and within the weekly workshop coordinated by Eddie Pr?vost. Before this workshop by Eddie Pr?vost became the rallying point for a new generation, I had the opportunity to taste their excellent sets at the Freedom of the City Festival 2001 and noticed his expertise and his sensitivity. With Eddie and saxophonist Seymour Wright, he burned the double CD SUM (Matchless Records) and their performance in a later edition of this FOTC allowed me to discover the main lines of his remarkable guitar playing. In this new opus recorded one afternoon, the guitarist delivers a series of 7 six-string excursions where his whims, his obsessions, his taste for disjointed and non-consonant intervals and the intersections of diagonals are defined or lost. of spirals. Ah, his fingerings on the left hand! We get out of it cheerful or dreamy, nostalgic or lucid atmospheres. We hear him making verbal comments that I find it hard to understand. Occur an evocation of African music as we hear it in Ocora discs, fugitive explorations of timbres which evoke the spirit of Eddie Pr?vost, a free-folk perfume and quirky constructions where adventurous harmonies and metric canvases evoke the rhythmic serialism described by Roger Smith. An improvising guitarist who deserves our full attention. Album produced by Edward Lucas and Daniel Kordik, the two responsible for the label and talented improvisational musicians. Orynx review

"...the most arresting, the most thoughtful, the most challenging music I heard [(?)...]
At the limits of intimacy and non-commerce, two recordings stand out for me: 1a) Ross Lambert: MAGNIT-IZ-DAT (Earshots! Recordings). Lambert adapts his guitar to the practice of psychogeography, the realm of his fellow-Londoners, writers Iain Sinclair and Will Self, by recording his guitar in the backseat of a car in various South London locales, making himself a spontaneous conduit between a world and an instrument..."

Evan Parker (saxophone), Marcio Mattos (cello) & John Edwards (double bass)
Rhodri Davies (harp), Ross Lambert (acoustic guitar) & Matt Samson (laptop)
Benedict Drew (laptop), Louisa Martin (laptop) & Seymour Wright (alto sax)
Three newly convened trios tapping historical and musical linkages. Parker, Mattos and Edwards have worked together in larger groups but not a trio. Davies’s first experience of improvised music allegedly came from hearing Lambert and Samson’s early 1990s duo ‘orange‘ in Sheffield . The laptops and saxophone trio explores Drew and Martin’s connection through the trio portable (with Davies), and Wright/Drew’s history as a duo.
