Recorded 18th June, 2011 at Kunstencentrum BELGIE & Cultuurplatform Motives for
Jazz. Quat features Els Vandeweyer on vibes, Fred Van Hove on piano & accordion
and Paul Lovens & Martin Blume on percussion. The instrumentation here is
certainly unique: vibes/piano & accordion/two drummers. This quartet features
two veteran Euro players: Fred Van Hove (with Brotzmann, Dunmall & several solo
efforts) and Paul Lovens (Schlippenbach, Cecil Taylor & Dr. Chadbourne). I
hadn't heard of their vibes player, Ms. Els Vandeweyer, before this but Martin
Blume has worked with Frank Gratkowski, Luc Houtkamp & Phil Minton. This sounds
like an all improv set and it is consistently fascinating. Free yet tight and
focused. Since each member of the quartet is playing a percussion instrument
(of sorts), there is a great deal of intense, spirited interplay. I had the
good fortune to hear the legendary European pianist Fred Van Hove play duos
with Lou Grassi twice last year. Mr. Van Hove is incredible and adds his unique
touch and creativity throughout this disc. The interaction between the piano
and vibes is especially magical as well as both drummers also add their own
unique approach.
