CD Club
At midnight, the CD Club experienced a fair amount of free bop, graciously performed by Tony Malaby’s Tamarindo. The concert opened with pure sound and improvisation.
Malaby, who a few hours previously played in an entirely different context in the Bigmouth project, challenged the extreme bounds of his instrument, receiving profuse encouragement from entirely tameless Nasheet Waits on drums and William Parker, who alternately bowed his strings and performed pizzicato.
The more intimate parts included refined ascetic timbres, whereby the musicians probed into the deep recesses of sound – especially Malaby allowed his saxophone to speak with a rarely experienced idiom also during quieter moments. The last concert of the evening was also received with a heartening applause.
The Clean Feed Day more than successfully introduced some new jazz figures to Slovenian audiences – on the terrace of CD Club the enchanted concert-goers discussed the thrilling music until daybreak.
