Jazz / Free Jazz
Recorded: February 24, 2001, Victoria Rooms, Bristol, United Kingdom
Spacetime is another essential slice of improvising "Brit-jazz", features Mujician experimenting with shorter formats, and includes 15 pieces under 10 minutes each, recorded live in the studio.
Dunmall, Levin, Rogers, and Tippett: reliable, dependable, combining quality and value. The description might be that of a law firm (or in England, a group of barristers), but in fact it applies to the free jazz collective known as Mujician. The adjectives are apropos and the band has been together for many years, producing tasty, adventurous music that pushes the barriers of convention, but never sacrifices high standards. Each of these four musicians is a significant soloist, yet the totality of their balanced, collective sound is due to a certain synergy among them as they create sculptures of an almost transcendent nature. The 15 tracks are divided into two suites -- "Spacetime" and "Exquisitely Woven Spiritual Communication" -- and whether the results speak to the higher realm implied by the titles is something to be debated among philosophers. What cannot be doubted, though, is that there is a coherency to the whole that exudes completeness; there is a comforting quality to it, too. Dunmall is a sort of odd bird in that he is a free player capable of performing energetically but is just as content to bring down the volume and sputter, plunge, and listen. Grandstanding is discarded in favor of a more nuanced approach. Sometimes it even rises to the level of magnificence. The quartet forges a distinct sound, radical yet accessible, unconventional but comforting.

The improvising quartet Mujician was formed in 1988. Mujician's members are Paul Dunmall (reeds), Tony Levin (percussion), Paul Rogers (bass), and Keith Tippett (piano). Dunmall was classically trained on clarinet. Levin (not the King Crimson member) studied drums and jazz from age 13 and became a professional at 17. Rogers is self-taught. Tippett has played with his 50-piece ensemble, Centipede, and was a studio member of King Crimson from 1970 through 1972. The group has performed at music festivals in England and Italy, and played with improvisers in Tbilisi, GA, in 1991. Mujician's first CD, The Journey, consisted of a single hour-long track recorded before a large festival audience. Their second release, Poem About the Hero, contains five improvisations from two to 30 minutes in length, recorded before a small, invited audience. Colours Fulfilled followed in 1998, their first studio recording. The group has remained active, but they're taking more time between issuing recordings. The collaborative Bristol Concert was recorded in 1991 (but not released until 2000), so the actual follow up to Colours Fulfilled (Spacetime) wasn't recorded until 2001. Five years later saw the release of There's No Going Back Now.
