Fire! Orchestra Actions (Vinyl)

Late Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki conducted the original Actions For Free Jazz Orchestra, which was performed in 1971 by top European improvisers. He was eager to call on the unlimited technical possibilities jazz musicians offered over non-improvising orchestral performers.

Fire! Orchestras revisitation of the piece doubles the originals length, but adheres toPendereckis plan for episodic engagement among select instruments, creating variable densities and occasionally emerging bass lines. The single-track Actions unfolds gradually with subtle timbral contrastsa spare ringing guitar, festering organ padsand solos that imbue colors rather than explosive energies.

Vinyl LP.
