Description
Reissue of drummer and percussionist Tony Oxley's superb 'February Papers' LP, originally released on Incus Records in 1977. First time the complete album has ever been reissued on CD. Original vinyl copies now sell for £100-£200.
Crisply recorded in Vangelis' London studio, and mastered for re-release under Oxley's personal supervision. The album features double bassist Barry Guy, violinist Philipp Wachsmann and guitarist Ian Brighton.
This album is a classic example of UK free improvisation by one of the originators of that style, with the added dimension that the playing is framed within Oxley's forward looking compositional frameworks.
The collective personnel play in quartet and trio configurations, detailed and collective sounds from strings, percussion and electronics. But perhaps the two centrepieces of the album are Oxley's solo tracks, where his extended use of drum kit and amplified objects is clearly underpinned by pure jazz skill.
Tony Oxley - percussion, electronics, violin
Barry Guy - double bass, bass guitar
Philipp Wachsmann - violin
