Group Chat by the Pete Roth Trio with Simon Barrow – 742

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Doug Curran and Jeffrey Crecelius

It was a great pleasure, as usual, to welcome Simon Barrow onto the YMP to help us talk about the new Pete Roth Trio album, Group Chat. Mark knows about jazz but I certainly don’t, so I relied on the other guys’ understanding of the genre but, as will become clear, it’s a bit of a mistake to try to categorise Bill Bruford’s new-ish collaboration with guitarist Pete Roth and bassist Mike Pratt. Roth says it’s ‘near-jazz, near-rock’ but listen without prejudice, as they say, and we will all enjoy this highly creative and collaborative endeavour.

Simon also shared some items in the chat and afterwards including:

Jam-Bot: Virtual Virtuosity and Embodied Performance

A Microtonal Poke in the Eye for AI?

With Feeling: Performance, Humanity and Technology

  • Does it matter how we categorise this music?
  • Is it all improvised?
  • Is it enjoyable?

Our own Mark Anthony K’s latest release is now available on Bandcamp – Racing From Time, a great 4-track EP.

Fragile Solo Songs Revisited – 683

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius

This week, Mark and I discussed the ‘solo’ songs on Fragile. Each band member contributed an individual project, some with more success than others. The style and approaches used by Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, Howe and Squire are very different and they certainly prompted an interesting discussion as you’ll hear.

Drama and Fragile Live!
Drama and Fragile Live!

With Yes soon to embark on playing the whole of Fragile live for the third time, we also touched on how these songs come over live – and if it’s even a good idea to include them alongside the 4 ‘proper’ songs.

  • Which of the solo songs is the best?
  • How do they differ in approach?
  • Should they be played live?

Dr. Bill Bruford
Dr. Bill Bruford

Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier

In our second part of what Bill did next, Mark and I enjoy listening to the Earthworks album, Stamping Ground. It’s a complete change for me but Mark has quite a few Earthworks albums.

  • What do those electronic drums sound like here?
  • Is this just ‘standard’ jazz?
  • Can Kevin get into the music at all?
