Review New York City Jazz Record

The longstanding British group AMM is represented by the pairing of pianist John Tilbury and percussionist Eddie Prévost on Uncovered
Correspondence, a 2010 Polish concert of hushed simplicity that could almost, at times, pass for minimalism (though it is defiantly ‘maximal’ in scope). Prévost’s percussion work is incredibly deep, bowed and shimmering cymbal gestures in counterpoint with the muted, interlocking cells of Tilbury’s Cage-ian piano. A delicate metronomic pulse emerges in the lastfive minutes of the first piece, unwavering patter skirting plaintive, low blocks of sound. As measured as restive breathing albeit punctuated by sharp admonishments, the three movements are examples of going back to the building blocks of musical creation.
