No Favorites
pays homage to one of the most original creators in improvised music, Lawrence 'Butch' Morris (1947-2013), inventor of Conduction, a method for organizing large-ensemble improvisation that he took to the world. The program represents a working relationship that Rova began with Morris in 1988 and also reflects parallel working processes reaching back to the mid-1970s. Rova do more than simply pay tribute. The quartet's members build on their own work in structured improvisation, incorporate other methods of organization -- from graphic scores to conventional notation -- and expand their palette from the saxophone quartet to include a string quartet and an electric power trio. Extending the possibilities of large-ensemble improvisation, the combined groups create music of both depth and an ever changing surface, the fruit of both intense commitment and a highly creative, heterodox methodology. Like previous Rova expansions, it achieves complex music that both requires and rewards active listening. Each of the three extended pieces here includes a high degree of improvisation while embodying different compositional principles, the first and third (
Nothing Stopped / But a Future and Contours of the Glass Head
) employing conduction, the second graphic notation and simultaneity."
