4035
Studio recordings with STEVE BERESFORD (piano), JOHN EDWARDS (double bass) &

minutes.
JOHN RUSSELL / MAARTEN ALTENA / TERRY DAY "The Fairly Young
Bean" (1981) EMANEM 4036
Acoustic guitar, cello or double bass, & percussion trio improvisations -
intended for release as the third CAW LP, that never happened. A complete studio

KARL BERGER & EDWARD BLACKWELL "Just Play" (1976) EMANEM
4037
Hard-swinging vibraphone and percussion Free Jazz duets based on compositions by
Berger and Don Cherry. In contrast to these largely metallic sounds, there are

bala(fon) and an osi-drum. Reissue of Quark 9996 with an extra piece from the
same concert. 61 minutes.
THREE & FOUR PULLOVERS (1975-8) EMANEM 4038
A trio concert by STEVE BERESFORD (toys & electronics), NIGEL COOMBES
(violin & electronics) & ROGER SMITH (guitar) described by Beresford as

landscape." Plus excerpts from a quartet concert 3 years later with
BERESFORD also playing piano & euphonium, COOMBES just on violin, SMITH
continuing on guitar and TERRY DAY on percussion, alto saxophone, cello and
mandolin. Reissue of Quartz-Mirliton Cassette 12 with extra material from a
later concert. 76 minutes.
SPONTANEOUS MUSIC ORCHESTRA "Mouthpiece" (1973) EMANEM
4039
Outrageous sounds produced by a workshop orchestra directed by JOHN STEVENS - an
SME-type improvisation; instrumental & vocal drones; a mechanically rhythmic
yet unpredictable piece; and an all-out improvisation featuring non-vocal mouth
sounds, vocal sounds & instruments. The exact personnels of this ensemble
music are not known (apart from the leader on cornet), so they are not
given. 70 minutes - previously unissued.

material. 65 minutes.
