EVAN PARKER & Misha Mengelberg
Evan Parker-soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone, Misha Mengelberg-piano
A rare meeting between two of the pioneers that played an important role in establishing the image of the European improvised music. Not many saxophonists have been so significantly involved in the development of the saxophone technique as Evan Parker, who builds his impressive constructions with double tones, overtones, micro tonal subtleties and creative distortions. And not many composers and pianists have defined ‘instant composing’ as strongly as the almost alert, never compromising nor ever taking anything for granted Mengelberg. A duo that will move you to the edge of your chair.
