I love this album because it combines the great artistry of Simon, Alex and Ward with the spirit of Derek Bailey's music. Dedicated to the memory of Simon H. Well, who passed away in 2020. I am missing Derek and Simon, the genuine free spirits of free music.

For Simon H. Fell (13 January 1959 - 28 June 2020)
Marking the first anniversary of Simon's passing, all proceeds raised from sales of this recording will be sent to Jo Fell to share among her chosen charities.
Derek Bailey - With Apologies To G. Brecht [first performance]
This cryptic text score has an explicit relation to the work of George Brecht; during the late 1960s Bailey had played Brecht pieces with Gavin Bryars, John Tilbury, Evan Parker and others in the ‘Instelimp’ group, which preceded the Music Improvisation Company. (Bailey may also have had personal contact with Brecht, who lived in London from 1968 to 1971.) Whether Bailey’s piece is influenced by Fluxus or represents a reaction against the movement is a matter of debate; like many Fluxus scores the text is non-specific, and requires considerable input from the realising musician(s) – although it is also possible that the score that survives is actually incomplete. For this first performance Simon Fell has prepared a version which reflects the growing exclusiveness of Bailey’s commitment to improvisation at the end of the 60s.
Performers are required to turn-over instructional cards, complete a household chore then improvise.

what should have been originally released. the lo-fi nature works wonderfully in the record's favor... feels very natural. bailey plays off of the backing quite nicely!
