Notorious Sparks
This all-star line up features artists who are celebrated in their respective fields. From the New York downtown scene comes Matthew Shipp , described by Rolling Stone as “one of the most daring and original pianists in jazz” and William Parker, “the most consistently brilliant free jazz bassist of all time” (The Village Voice). They are joined by British saxophonist Evan Parker, J Spaceman on guitar and pioneering Dutch free jazz drummer Han Bennink. The recordings of John Coxon and Ashley Wales as Spring Heel Jack were one of the earliest and best applications of hard-edged drum’n’base to the full length LP concept and they were also co-writers and producers of the hit title track from Everything But The Girl’s 1995 platinum album Walking Wounded.
