John Butcher & Eddie Prévost
john butcher and eddie prévost


cd
interworks



Although Eddie Prévost and John Butcher shared the stage at Derek Bailey's 1990 London Company Week they didn't perform together again until March 2005 - in duo at Goldie's Oligarch in the East London Foundry. So far Eddie has chosen to work with tam-tam, bowed cymbals and drum resonators - as heard on their CD interworks.

order CD from Matchless
Recorded at Gateway Studios, London: July 2005

John Butcher: tenor and soprano saxophones
Eddie Prévost: tam-tam and other percussion
Cover from "The Prospect of Whitby" by Terry Ellis.

Saxophonist Butcher and percussionist Prévost are not the kind of musicians to turn in substandard performances, but even by their high standards this is a remarkably compelling disc. The recording by engineer Steve Lowe renders the protesting metallic wail of Prévost's tam-tam and Butcher's disparate whispers, squelches, and immaculately joined multiphonic excursions as vivid as sunlight in the tropics.
Signal to Noise - Bill Meyer
