Simon H. Fell - Composition No. 12.5
Originally released in 1990 on LP and cassette (and reissued in 1999 on CD), this medium-scale composition for improvisers was the first of Simon Fell’s ‘fourth stream’ pieces to attract significant critical attention. A chamber-size ensemble augmented by electronics works its way through an extensive series of variations of a surprisingly catchy bebop head. Featured soloists include Paul Hession, Alan Wilkinson, Martin Jones, Pete Minns and Charles Wharf.
Reviews
"Compilation II is a remarkable piece of work. Solos throughout are terrific, ensemble playing is strong, the writing is episodic but there's still a central flow and coherent development, production values are nothing short of unique. In short, we have a potential classic here.....Brilliant." Steve Lake THE WIRE
"The sharpest dialogue between composition and improvisation realised by any English composer." Ben Watson RESONANCE
