‘The Eddie Prévost Quartet featuring:  Nathaniel Catchpole: tenor
saxophone. Philip Somervell: piano. Guillaume Viltard: double bass
and Eddie Prévost drums.

 + special guest : Jamie Coleman on trumpet !

Eddie Prévost is one of the founding innovators of the new improvisationary music that emerged in the 1960s. His own contribution spans the experimentalism implicit in the music of AMM — with its emphasis upon exploring sound sources — as well as experimental references to the world of jazz. This band — which features musicians much younger than Prevost — is drawn together through  association with Prévost’s workshop. It displays many of the tonal and poly-rhythmic characteristics of jazz.  But there is a strong emphasis on exploring the nature of sound and upon collective playing. The ensemble defies many of the tired characterizations: it is not ‘free-jazz’, it is not ‘free-bop’,
it is not free-improvisation’. It plays so as if to define and to assert its own identity.’

lire | Off the cuff at Cafe Oto between Seijiro’s sets…

“There followed a solo double bass performance that was added late to the bill from Guillaume Viltard, a young musician that has been playing a lot at the weekly Eddie Prevost workshop. I had seen him play before, most recently in a duo with his frequent playing partner Ute Kanngiesser, but never solo, and I have to admit to being taken by surprise by this set. Far from just being extra filler for the concert Viltard took the opportunity, and simultaneously his bass by the scruff of the neck and tore into a quite brilliant set, incredibly powerful, emotive playing, passionate. occasionally violent music. He rocked about around his instrument, bowing, plucking and wrenching at the strings but always with precise intention, never just randomly attacking the bass. The music was full but not lacking in structure, able to breathe but always coming at you. He began playing while the audience were still walking around chatting, and watching him when few others were he plunged everything into the performance right from the outset. moulding this music out of nowhere oblivious to the fact that people were sat watching. I found this performance absolutely captivating.”
