British percussionist
Tony Oxley
returned to his piece "Angular Apron" multiple times after debuting it in the early 1970s. Drawing equally on his interest in contemporary composed music by folks like
Xenakis
and
Ligeti
and on his long tenure as one of the central figures in European improvised music, Oxley assembled a quintet to play the work in Bochum, Germany, in 1992. The one-time ensemble consisted of five players from varied backgrounds. Trumpeter and flugelhornist
Manfred Schoof
, who delivers one of his last performances before turning exclusively to composition, is one of the pioneers of free music in Germany, a somewhat understated figure of immense power and authority whose 1969 FMP LP
European Echoes
stands as one of the great documents of orchestral improvisation, and whose own quintet helped define the transitional forms of new jazz a few years earlier in the decade. American bassist
Sirone
is best known for his work in the
Revolutionary Ensemble
, with violinist
Leroy Jenkins
and drummer
Jerome Cooper
. Sirone's presence in Oxley's group confirms the drummer's commitment to a transatlantic aesthetic, one he explored extensively with
Cecil Taylor
and
William Parker
in the
Feel Trio
. Saxophonist
Larry Stabbins
brings his incredible versatility to the band, adding the mix of ferocity and buoyancy that he added to diverse projects from
Spontaneous Music Ensemble
and
Peter Brötzmann
to
Weekend and Working Week
. On piano and electronics,
Pat Thomas
was at the time a relative newcomer to the British scene, rapidly becoming one of its leading lights and most sought-after collaborators. Oxley drew on this crew's wide range of orientations for this "Angular Apron," exploiting their extremes of timbre and register, calling on their acuity as listeners, and prodding them with his finely-honed junkshop of metal percussion, with which he detonates the hour-long piece. Presenting the never-before-released music in its complete glory, mastered from the original tapes, the
Angular Apron
CD design features images of two of Oxley's paintings. Recorded October 2, 1992, at the Ruhr Jazz Festival, Bochum, Germany. Mastered by Larry Stabbins. Design by
David Khan-Giordano
. Produced by
John Corbett
. Thanks to
Tutta Oxley
.
