DEREK BAILEY / Solo Guitar Volume 1 (2LP)
DEREK BAILEY の名作『Solo Guitar Volume 1』２枚組アナログで再発。デレク・ベイリーが1972年に Incus より発表した名盤が Honest Jon’s Records の記念すべき200番としてアナログ２枚組みにて再発。今回の再発盤には「Improvisation: York, 24.2.1972」が新たに追加されています。 Recorded in 1971, Solo Guitar Volume 1 was Bailey’s first solo album. Its cover is an iconic montage of photos taken in the guitar shop where he worked. He and the photographer piled up the instruments whilst the proprietor was at lunch, with Bailey promptly sacked on his return. The LP was issued in two versions over the years — Incus 2 and 2R — with different groupings of free improvisations paired with Bailey’s performances of notated pieces by his friends Misha Mengelberg, Gavin Bryars and Willem Breuker. All this music is here, plus a superb solo performance at York University in 1972; a welcome shock at the end of an evening of notated music. It’s a striking demonstration of the way Bailey rewrote the language of the guitar with endless inventiveness, intelligence and wit. Tracklist 01. Improvisation 4 / 02. Improvisation 5 / 03.
