Agusti Fernandez and Evan Parker
Levontin 7
Tel Aviv, Israel
September 4 and 5, 2008

Catalan pianist Agusti Fernandez and English master reed player Evan Parker have been cooperating for more than a decade in different formations, as a duo on Tempranillo (Nova Era, 1996), on the collaborative quartet Topos (Maya, 2007) and on Parker’s Electro-Acoustic Ensemble’s The Eleventh Hour (ECM, 2005). Both are master improvisers and both are gifted with a highly idiosyncratic musical language that sounds like it’s never abandoning a desire to push beyond its expressive limits. On their first visit to Israel they were featured in two concerts of solo performances, duos and trios with Israeli reed player Assif Tsahar. A third concert, which I unfortunately missed, presented Parker with Israeli musicians.
