Description:Sweet Nothings (for Milford Graves) is an album by Joe & Evan Parker Mcphee, released in 2022. The album is a jazz CD. - .. MILFORD GRAVES)
Two masters of wind instruments blowing in from the Windy City. In 2003, as part of the seventh annual Empty Bottle Festival of Jazz & Improvised Music, Joe McPhee and Evan Parker squared off for a round of intimate dialogues. The resulting recording is just the second time they had played as a duet, the previous also being in Chicago, at a studio in 1998, where the limited their instrumentarium to tenor saxophones, resulting in the Okka Disc classic Chicago Tenor Duets (2002). In this case, they expanded their arsenal to include tenor and soprano saxophones, as well as McPhee's trusty pocket cornet. Held in a beautiful hall at the Chicago Cultural Center, the concert was unforgettable. Fortunately, it was documented by the legendary mobile recordist Malachi Ritscher, who recorded most of the Bottle Fests with his usual rough-and-ready style. From the opening notes, Sweet Nothings was notable for the musicians' intuitive connection. Freely improvised in seven parts, these are duets of the highest caliber performed by two musicians who are constantly seeking common ground - what you might call "agree-to-agree" improvisors. But there's no lack of tension or productive dissonance; on the contrary, that's part of their unity of vision, the shared ability to diverge and reconnect.
"Sweet Nothings (for Milford Graves)" is a captivating CD release featuring the legendary improvisers Joe McPhee and Evan Parker, presented by CORBETT VS DEMPSEY. This album pays tribute to the late percussionist Milford Graves, capturing an intimate live performance where saxophone virtuosity meets deep emotional resonance. The interplay between McPhee?s expressive tenor and soprano saxophones and Parker?s innovative approach to the instrument results in a mesmerizing journey through free jazz landscapes?full of subtlety, intensity, and mutual respect. Both artists are renowned for their pioneering roles in avant-garde jazz: Joe McPhee has been celebrated for his emotive playing since the 1960s, while Evan Parker stands as one of Europe?s most influential saxophonists with decades of groundbreaking collaborations. CORBETT VS DEMPSEY is a Chicago-based label known for its dedication to adventurous music and art releases; they have built a reputation for curating essential recordings from both established legends and emerging voices in experimental sound.
