Description:2016 release. A reissue of Jimmy Lyons's Push Pull, originally released on Hat Hut Records in 1979. Long known as Cecil Taylor's most reliable and loyal colleague, alto saxophonist Jimmy Lyons has a select discography as a leader, and among it's best entries is Push Pull, originally issued by Hat Hut Records as a massive three LP set. Recorded during a single marathon performance at the Collective for Living Cinema in New York in 1978, Push Pull features five extended pieces, all by Lyons, with his working quintet that included his wife Karen Borca on bassoon, Hayes Burnett on bass, Munner Bernard Fennell on cello, and Roger Blank on drums. Jolting, quicksilver free jazz with terse themes and brilliant interplay, the music is quintessential Lyons - searching, pliant, and sincere. Remastered from the original tapes, this first reissue of Push Pull compiles the original tracks - two of which were split to accommodate the 20-minute limit of LP - into their original full-length, fitting the whole program onto two CDs, lovingly repackaged featuring the original Klaus Baumgärtner cover. Recorded by Karen Borca on May 6, 1978 at the Collective for Living Cinema in New York. Photos by Ken Brunton and H.L. Lindenmaier; Cover by Klaus Baumgärtner. Remastered at Experimental Sound Studio, Chicago, 2015; Tapes transferred at Chicago Mastering Service, 2015; Reissue produced by John Corbett.
"Push Pull" is a remarkable CD release by the legendary alto saxophonist Jimmy Lyons, issued by the esteemed label Corbett vs Demps. This album captures Lyons in an electrifying live performance from 1978 at Sam Rivers' Studio Rivbea in New York City, showcasing his unique approach to free jazz and improvisation. Known for his long-standing collaboration with Cecil Taylor, Lyons developed a distinctive voice on the alto saxophone?melding bebop roots with avant-garde innovation. "Push Pull" features extended compositions that highlight both his lyrical phrasing and rhythmic intensity, supported by an outstanding ensemble including Karen Borca (bassoon), Hayes Burnett (bass), and Roger Blank/Syd Smart (drums). The recording stands as a testament to Lyons? influence within modern jazz circles. Corbett vs Demps is renowned for its dedication to unearthing rare archival recordings and presenting them with meticulous care. The label specializes in avant-garde jazz, experimental music, and historically significant performances?often bringing overlooked masterpieces back into public consciousness through high-quality releases. Jimmy Lyons was one of the most influential figures in post-bop and free jazz movements during the latter half of the twentieth century. His work with Cecil Taylor?s Unit set new standards for group interplay and improvisational freedom; albums such as "Unit Structures," "Conquistador!," and numerous live recordings have cemented his legacy among critics and fans alike.
