Jah Wobble and Evan Parker - Passage to Hades

Posted by: Nigel Cavendish on 05 April 2001

The bass-meister meets free-form jazz, can't possibly work can it?

Well, yes it can and superbly too. Wobble's rolling repetitious bass lines almost Can-like in feel underscore Parkers flights of saxophone fancy at the other end of the sonic spectrum. Can you employ circular breathing techniques on a sax? If not then Parker must have lungs the size of gasometers.

You must hear this.

cheers

Nigel Ive been looking at that record for weeks vacillating on whether or not to buy. You have convinced me. Ill take the plunge. Evan P does indeed use circular breathing.
