Long time colleagues and friends Ed Jones and Steve Plews team up here on 'Derelict', a departure into the world of free improvisation for both musicians yet somehow retaining their musical identity. Always structured, always lyrical, there is nothing random about this collection. The album is packaged in just a simple cardboard sleeve.
Steve Plews plays electric violin, drums and prepared piano, Ed Jones plays tenor and soprano saxes and percussion, scurries and flurries his way round the various soundscapes, the two creating at times an ironic musical conversation. Not for the faint hearted but there is something here for every musical, enquiring mind.
Personnel: Ed Jones (tenor and soprano saxophone, percussion), Steve Plews (prepared piano, tubular bells, violin, percussion), Michael J Langley (sound design)
