The impact of free Eddie Prévost

Precursor of free improvisation in Europe, the British drummer Eddie Prévost remains on active duty since the 60's. One of the seminal group responsible for the AMM, founded in 65, Prevost has explored these decades percussive sounds that go beyond the boundaries of traditional drums, adding new pieces to their tools of trade. Partner Paul Rutherford, Derek Bailey, Barry Guy, Evan Parker, Marilyn Crispell, the UK recorded a plethora of albums in your long career in many different formats. In their most recent albums, the double Most Materiall, recorded in 97 along with Evan Parker, deserves more attention: two great musicians on two discs individuals, those who hear the result and complained about not having had the opportunity enjoy them live.


In the 80s, ran the drummer Eddie Prévost Quartet, one of several groups that organized this activity time. The album Continuum is one of the best examples of this group. Prévost had to turn to: Larry Stabbins (tenor and soprano), Veryan Weston (piano), Marcio Mattos (bass). Rare occurrence here, two of these musicians were in the country recently, more precisely in October. Veryan Weston has given workshops and participated in at least two presentations, the Brazilian Marcio Mattos showed their creativity in the CCSP and the SESC. Who saw, you know what these musicians can provide and offer.
