"LIVES, A POINTLESS NIGHT OUT"

Without Fear Recordings

This album is a live compilation of music from the Billy Tipton Memorial Saxophone Quartet, Pointless Orchestra, New Family, Siamese Twins, John Hajeski and Umbilical Trio. In their different styles, many of these artists follow a given common path. Taking the most experimental areas of Jazz as their main starting point, the musicians break with many moulds and explore new musical continents. Touches of New Music are present, and even come to have a leading role in different parts of the album. This is the case of such pieces as for instance "Improvisation Excerpt 1" and "Improvisation Excerpt 2" by Siamese Twins. Likewise, certain traits of World Music can be detected in some pieces, such as for instance "Az Du Furst Avec" by the Billy Tipton Memorial Saxophone Quartet, and "Obligatory abstract piece" by the Pointless Orchestra. There also are mysterious passages, including the theme "Yet another abstract piece" by the Pointless Orchestra. Though there are slow parts, much of the music has a lively rhythm. Prophetic urban folklore, or oniric surrealism as real as life itself, the fact is that the music has a pleasant freshness.
