Eddie Prevost’s AMM, who have just released their 25th album, remain a major force in free improvisation, and inspired the ‘60s Pink Floyd’s edgier moments.
Paired with John Butcher, best known nowadays for aiming his horn exploratively into the architectural voids of site-specific recordings, he and the bassist Guillame Viltard complete a superficially conventional jazz trio.
Prevost surrenders the usual cymbal scraping for flick-wristed fluid drumming as Butcher blasts off from uncharacteristically bluesy runs into abstract twittering and air-swallowing clacks.
