Exquisite music by a trio described in The Wire as “three young musicians re-inventing improvised music”.    Matt Davis and Bechir Saade, who are quietly building reputations for themselves as two of the rising stars of the improv world, are joined by newcomer Matt Milton whose quiet, careful violin playing underpins these three beautiful pieces.

Six very varied pieces by a fine trio of Spanish-based musicians, beautifully recorded in the stone-built Eremita de la Anunciada in Urueña.  A music that appears to be located halfway between chamber-improv and contemporary classical music, and which is like no other.  

A unique celebration of the work of Hugh Davies, one of the great pioneers of improvised music who died three years ago.  Solo recordings of Hugh from three decades ago are played back to a trio of musicians whose work has been influenced by Hugh, and they improvise around his music to create a living homage to his memory.   Beautiful, strange and challenging music.

To accompany the release of the ‘for hugh davies’ cd,  an archive cd-r featuring all of Hugh Davies’ recordings from 1969-1977 that were used in the production of the cd.   Seventy-nine minutes of historic music, previously unissued and featuring five solos by Hugh plus a duet with Richard Orton for two ‘shozygs’ - one of the many simple but extraordinary instruments that Hugh invented. Unmissable.
