Description: Please join us at Slought Foundation on Wednesday, March 2, 2005 from 8:00-10:00pm for a live concert by McPhee and Duval, with Joe McPhee on alto/tenor saxophone and pocket trumpet, and Dominic Duval on Hutchins bass.


A rare doubler - equally at ease on brass and woodwind - Joe McPhee (b. 1939) was first heard on Clifford Thorton's 'Freedom and Unity' (Third World, 1967). Founding the CjR recording label in 1969 with artist Craig Johnson, McPhee (as a leader) recorded 'Underground Railroad', 'Trinity', and 'Nation Time'. By 1974, Swiss entrepreneur Werner X. Uehlinger, so engaged by McPhee's underground recordings, started Hat Hut records to release his work, eventually releasing the seminal 'Tenor' solo concert in 1976. Following early collaborations with Pauline Oliveros, McPhee's interests in extended technique and electronics were influenced by the theories of "deep listening." Re-emerging in the 1990s, McPhee has attracted wider attention from the North American creative jazz community, recording prodigiously on recording labels such as CIMP, Okkadisk, Music & Arts, and Victo, as well as beginning a fruitful relationship with Chicago reedman Ken Vandermark. Most recently, he has recorded with the Peter Brotzmann Chicago Tentet, Trio X, DJ Spooky, Oliveros' Deep Listening Band, and Mats Gustafsson's The Thing.

Few musicians are more dedicated to the principles of free improvisation than bassist Dominic Duval. He has a prodigious technique; Duval plays the bass like an elongated guitar, with fast lines and textures. Rather than provide a low-pitched harmonic/rhythmic foundation, Duval more often than not plays like a horn player, interacting freely with other members of the ensemble. Best know for his extensive work with Cecil Taylor, Duval has also recorded with Trio X, Marshall Allen, Mark Whitecage, Frank Lowe, and John Oswald.
