Divisions - 153CD (2023)

by Johnny Hunter, Mark Hanslip, Olie Brice

supported by

Giles gorgeous wisps of tunes that shape fascinating interactive improv. continuing the line of work by people like Ornette Coleman, with open ended explorations and a band nimble enough to follow each other wherever ideas lead, while providing plenty of space. but with a lot more modern influences in the mix of course. the recording/engineering is also absolutely pristine and every detail is clear. extremely skillful and satisfying!!

about

"A terrific recording by a terrific trio. One of the best free jazz releases of the year so far." - Brian Marley

"It’s resourceful, confident, articulate and bold." - Steve Day

"With the comradery that grounds the group made clear via their intrinsic sense of communication, this recording is a delightfully emancipated invitation to the listener, overall." – Barney Whittaker, PRESTO MUSIC

A suite of four new compositions from Johnny Hunter, performed beautifully, stylishly, and most creatively by this trio of great players. The music treads a fine line between free jazz and free improvisation, areas where these musicians live easily and naturally. By turns exciting, textural, sensual, joyously cool.

Johnny writes "The recording came off the back of the trio's tour where they were performing purely Free Improvisation. The interest is in how they would now treat some composed material. The simple but strong melodies provide a stark contrast to the freedom experienced during the improvisation.".
