Liverpudlian Martland spent time in Holland studying with Louis Andriessen. Most of his work was with artists who were outside mainstream classical institutions - Dutch & American groups, freelance musicians & his own Steve Martland Band. @schottmusic.bsky.social

Steve Martland (1954-2013) was a composer whose recordings often merged minimalism, rock and jazz, including a collaboration with Spiritualized. This isn't that, but it's great.

Gavin Bryars at Cafe Oto. Quite extraordinary and moving to hear this music in such an intimate space with such a reverent, respectful audience. Well worth the struggle across Tube-less London.

Just added a new track to my Soundcloud: Blue Window is a gentle little miniature for sax quartet. Wrote it a *long* time ago but always had a soft spot for it

(May of interest, @deltasax.bsky.social?)

Blue Window

A short and quiet piece for sax quartet, dedicated to the memory of Antony Hollaway

“One of my eyes pointed this way, the other pointed that way. Miles [Davis] didn’t know which way I was looking. He thought I was looking at his right side. I focused my eyes and punched him in the face.”

AMN Reviews: Signe Emmeluth – Hi Hello I’m Signe (2021; Relative Pitch)

Hi Hello I'm Signe is the first solo sax effort from Emmeluth, who is active in the European free jazz scene. It consists of a single 35-minute track, Action Painting en Vogue. Emmeluth employs atypical blowing and fingering techniques to generate squeaks, bent notes, and subtle melodies. But her playing is not predictable in general, as she moves between passages of the recording.
