  NEW ON MODE/AVANT FOR FEBRUARY: 

Avant 05


  Joe McPhee & John Heward


  Voices: 10 Improvisations


"Two people on two hot June afternoons. A studio, an experienced and 
appreciative engineer.
A deep need to find music. Total improvisation on music that existed, 
exists and will exist as long as there are voices."
-- John Heward on recording "Voices: 10 Improvisations", in June 2006

Original analog recording mastered in 24-bit for superb sound.

Joe McPhee (pocket trumpet, alto sax, and a bowl of water)
Since emerging on the creative jazz and new music scene in the late '60s 
and early '70s, Joe McPhee has been a deeply emotional composer, 
improviser, and multi-instrumentalist, as well as a conceptualist and 
theoretician. He has worked with musicians ranging from Peter Brötzmann 
to Pauline Oliveros. McPhee has recorded for numerous labels including 
Hat Hut, CjR, Cadence, CIMP, Okkadisk, Music & Arts, and Victo.

John Heward (drums, kalimba, percussion)
John Heward is a Montreal-based drummer/painter/sculptor who has quietly 
become one of the world's leading percussionist working in the field of 
contemporary improvised music, new music, and avant jazz. He has played 
with music luminaries including David Prentice, Glenn Spearman, Malcolm 
Goldstein, Joe McPhee, Dominic Duval, Lisle Ellis, Paul Bley, Joe 
Giardullo, and many others, who have sought him out during their 
Canadian sojourns. As Bill Smith of Coda put it, "John is one of 
Canada's foremost improvising percussionists."
