Tony Oxley floated Free Improvisation’s Northern English spearhead on implausibly arrhythmic pulses in the ‘60s.
A rigorous retrospective could have included collaborations with talents as diverse as Georgie Fame and Cecil Taylor, but this appropriate 75th birthday celebration offers five unreleased slices of Oxley accompanying more sympathetic souls.
Most welcome is a thirty minute 1993 scuffle with the pointillist piano of an uncharacteristically minimal Pat Thomas, Matt Wand’s leaky sampler, and the stellar guitar tones Derek Bailey.
