Description:Corbett Vs. Dempsey present a reissue of Dudu Pukwana, Han Bennink and Misha Mengelberg's Yi Yole, originally released in 1979. Recorded at the ICP Jubileum, a festival in Uithoorn, Holland, in 1978, Yi Yole brings together the core of the Instant Composers Pool - pianist Misha Mengelberg and drummer Han Bennink - with legendary South African alto saxophonist Dudu Pukwana. Longtime member of the Blue Notes, Pukwana was a beloved figure in European free music after he left South Africa in the mid-sixties and settled in London. There he worked with all of the leading lights of free improvised music, recording extensively with the Brotherhood of Breath and eventually releasing LPs under his own leadership before his untimely passing in 1990 at the age of 51. What the three tracks on Yi Yole make clear is how surprisingly well the Dutch and South African sensibilities fit together, an overall relaxed vibe leading to unforeseen directions in the music. Han Bennink ranges far beyond his drum kit and it's metallic add-ons, playing trombone, clarinet, and viola; his collage design for the record, as with all ICP productions, is brilliant and perfectly matched to the music. This is the only time these three prime movers of free music would record as a trio, hitting just at the moment when the Instant Composers Pool was gaining momentum and South African jazz was growing in international stature. Released on ICP, Mengelberg/Bennink's self-produced label, Yi Yole saw limited distribution and attention in it's time, but it remains an absolute classic of improvised music, presented here in all it's glory with Bennink's design, remastered from original tapes, the box of which is reproduced on the interior spread, replete with never-seen hand notations. Personnel: Dudu Pukwana - alto saxophone, whistle; Misha Mengelberg - piano; Han Bennink - drums, clarinet, viola, trombone.
"Yi Yole" is a remarkable CD that brings together the talents of three legendary jazz musicians: Dudu Pukwana, Han Bennink, and Misha Mengelberg. This album captures an electrifying live performance where South African jazz meets European avant-garde improvisation. The synergy between Pukwana's expressive saxophone, Bennink's inventive drumming, and Mengelberg's playful piano creates a unique soundscape full of energy and spontaneity. Released by CTDY, a label renowned for its dedication to innovative and boundary-pushing music projects, "Yi Yole" stands as a testament to cross-cultural collaboration in modern jazz. Dudu Pukwana was one of South Africa?s most influential saxophonists known for his work with the Blue Notes; Han Bennink is celebrated as one of Europe?s most creative percussionists; while Misha Mengelberg has left an indelible mark on contemporary improvised music through decades of groundbreaking performances and compositions.
