Marilyn Crispell: Fearless, Deeply Sensitive and Shaping the Moment
by Dean Nardi
As Marilyn Crispell talked about her multitude of recent recordings, either solo or with this trio or that quartet, she mentioned needing to pack her bags before going out on tour.

Peter Evans / Barry Guy: Syllogistic Moments
by John Sharpe
From the first few seconds of the opening “Red Green" onwards, this live recording from trumpeter Peter Evans and bassist Barry Guy is a feat of death defying bravura.

Barry Guy New Orchestra: Oort-Entropy
by Glenn Astarita
Seminal free jazz bassist Barry Guy is responsible for manning some of the finest albums in this rather opaque genre. Aside from his longtime affiliations with saxophonist Evan Parker and drummer Paul Lytton--both of whom are featured here--the bassist is no stranger to leading exploratory ensembles. Guy's small orchestra equates to a multinational tentet. ...
Barry Guy New Orchestra: Oort-Entropy
by Derek Taylor
As a general rule of thumb, the bigger the band, the larger the role of logistics and finances in dictating its survival. In response to just such variables, the London Jazz Composer's Orchestra, one of the most venerable and prolific among large-scale European improvising outfits, underwent a necessary and indefinite hiatus back in 1998.
