Len Dobbin Liner Notes
Paul Bley learned long ago what it took many other avant-garde musicians (particularly saxophonists) years to realize, that it is not necessary to play free improvisations at a consistently ferocious level; one can improvise freely with lyricism, melodies and an inventive use of space. Throughout his often-fascinating duet set with Jane Bunnett (the latter is mostly on soprano but also plays some of her very individual flute), Bley is very much the leader, setting the atmosphere and the groove (if there is any). Other than "Music Matador" (which was written by Prince Lasha and Sonny Simmons 30 years ago), all of the 11 selections (which range in length from 41 seconds to eight minutes) were composed by Bley and/or Bunnett, much of it improvised on the spot. Generally the performances are concise enough not to overstay their welcome with the most memorable tracks being Bunnett's scalar (a la Steve Lacy) "B&B on the Rocks," the ballad "Foolishly," and the delightfully overcrowded and constantly evolving "Green & Brown." This is stimulating music subtle enough to reward repeated listenings. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
Jane Bunnett
Active Decades: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Oct 22, 1956 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Worldbeat, Latin Jazz, Post-Bop, Afro-Cuban Jazz, Cuban Jazz
One of the finest soprano saxophonists in jazz of the 1990s, Jane Bunnett originally studied classical piano but tendonitis cut short that career. After seeing the Charles Mingus group in San Francisco, Bunnett was inspired to play advanced jazz. On soprano, she recalls Steve Lacy a bit (who she has studied with), while her flute playing is quite distinctive. Bunnett has always had major players on her records: in addition to her husband, trumpeter Larry Cramer, the late pianist Don Pullen had been a fixture on her records; her 1988 debut for Dark Light also featured Dewey Redman; and she utilized Sheila Jordan and Jeanne Lee.
Bunnett has recorded for Dark Light, Music & Arts (a series of duets with Pullen), and Denon. Her most adventurous work is 1991's Spirits of Havana, which matches her playing with many of Cuba's top jazz musicians in Cuba. Jane Bunnett moved to Paris in the mid-'90s. Bunnett continued to record Afro-Cuban jazz throughout the 90's, releasing several critically acclaimed discs for Blue Note records. In 2002, Bunnett took a brief sabbatical from Afro Cuban music and released Spirituals & Dedications, highlighting her interest in both traditional gospel and modern compostions with spiritual themes by Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Stanely Cowell and Charles Mingus.
