{"product_id":"tom-challenger-evan-parker-evan-parker","title":"Tom Challenger \u0026 Evan Parker - Evan Parker","description":"\u003cp\u003e'May Spring Last a Lifetime' is the first duo release from improvising tenor saxophonists Tom Challenger and Evan Parker. The album emerged after years of informal practice sessions; then, following two live performances, the duo recorded this session at Arco Barco in Ramsgate. The album is Evan Parker's fifth appearance on the False Walls label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtracts from the CD booklet conversation between Tom and Evan: Evan: \"Duo is the simplest form of group playing. And so it's the simplest, the purest in a certain sense, and the most challenging. There's nowhere to hide, really. It's about the exchange. With two tenor saxophones, they have a shared language as instruments and I think we both have a relationship with the saxophone which is about: what does this thing do, what can it do? And then I've learned things from Tom that he has discovered: you can do this and can I approximate that? Can I incorporate that into my language or my relationship with the output of the instrument?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTom: \"I mean, as much as there is just two of us and you can tell there's two of us, there are moments where there's no one [laughs], and then there's moments where there are four or five. This duo has challenged the way that I listen, or the way I don't listen sometimes. But there are these weird moments where there might be three perceivable, four perceivable things going on, you know, in terms of what you might call a voice.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"False Walls","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":58303837929804,"sku":"BLX-15229","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0841\/2738\/3884\/files\/evan-parker.png?v=1785933203","url":"https:\/\/badlands.co.uk\/products\/tom-challenger-evan-parker-evan-parker","provider":"Badlands","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
