‘Schmetterling’ solo baritone Not Two 2011

The second set was Simon Rose’s solo on both baritone and alto… recently represented in a beautifully recorded solo album on baritone: ‘Schmetterling.’… Rose gifted the audience with a beautiful performance, full of nuances, circular breathing and soemthong like a theatrical attitude, but very near the essence and far from rhetoric. Gian Paolo Galasi

http://londonresonance.blogspot.com/

Rose uses the properties of his 1932 Conn baritone saxophone for parallel tone experimentation.  Cannily he not only takes advantage of the mammoth horn’s expected blurry and subterranean brays, but also highlights the glottal multiphonics that result from playing widespread passages altissimo. Among the sounds swelling up and diminishing from his horn are a volley of percussive tongue slaps strident enough to resemble gunfire…. a faint Arabic insinuation creeps into Rose’s playing on “Crater Lake”, especially in his choice of substitute notes.  Tessitura slurs are more prominent elsewhere, as powerful thrusts against metal create multi-phonic cries at higher and lower pitches. Rose’s flutter tonguing also doubles and triples as he stutters and sequences note patterns which arise and disappear in split seconds.  Expressed in broken octaves, a tune such as the title track may include bagpipe-chanter-like swells… which remain chromatic despite juddering slurs and contracted tongue slaps. Tracks like “Eel Feeler” in contrast bulge with crunching growls and stentorian reverberations that confirm the horn’s lower-depth power.  Still, all and all, the aleatoric “Boxhagener” is most illustrative of Rose’s strategy which echoes both Free Jazz and Free Music. An almost-earth-shaking interlude, propelled with inflated circular-breathed timbres, it appears as if the horn’s outside finish is being stripped to toughen the already bottomless snorts. 

Jean-Michel van Schouwbourg

Simon Rose - Schmetterling (Not Two, 2011) ****½

British saxophonist Simon Rose had already released a solo alto album, yet now he takes on a similar project with the baritone, and with stunning results. From the beginning till the end, this is an extremely captivating performance, entirely improvised, but with a rare emotional power. If the first track gives a kind introduction into the concept, the second piece starts with a phenomenal cry that will resonate till the end of the album. Rose explores every emotional aspect of the sound he can get out of his instrument, extremely raw, but then delivered in a slow, inevitable way. There is no urgency at all. Just the endless wails of despair, of anger, of sadness, or if you wish even deep resonance with the universe. The depth, the heaviness of the sound, the multiphonics and circular breathing, the vibrations, the bending of tones, all contribute to giving a kind of natural primeval quality.

'North Sea Night' Simon Rose, Steve Noble. Newcastle, UK. (Not Two Records, 2019)

What an unbelievable night of free improvisation the audience were treated to at The Bridge on Sunday night. Two amazing instrumentalists combined to produce two sustained sets of riveting & uncompromising jazz. Individually, both musicians were absolutely superb - I have never heard a baritone sax played with such energy and range before. Steve Noble, on percussion, was mesmerising with his creativity and inventiveness incorporating handheld cymbals, tea towels and more sticks than you can shake a stick at. Spellbinding. However, great as both performers were in their own right their interaction was on a different level. How they managed to coordinate their improvisations was magical. The music ebbed and flowed quite seamlessly going through many styles and phases from minimalist to full-on heavy metal. At one point there was a change in direction that was so perfect that the person sitting next to me purred in appreciation. I have been to several free improvisation gigs where the performances have been fairly introspective which is understandable given the complexity and intricacy of what is going on, however, Rose and Noble had great stage presence and seemed to really strut their stuff to further enhance proceedings. A good sized audience showed their approval with rapturous applause at the end of what had been a very rewarding evening. Steve H http://lance-bebopspokenhere.blogspot.de/2018/02/simon-rose-baritone-steve-noble-drums.html

Simon Rose & Steve Noble, ‘North Sea Night’. Simon Rose & Philippe Lemoine ‘Séance’ Of all the leading saxophones of today's jazz, people will think naturally about Peter Brötzmann, Evan Parker, Joe McPhee, Ken Vandermark, Mats Gustafsson, but Simon Rose should be on this list too, not because of his influence or renown, but simply because of the quality of his playing. His baritone has this wonderful warm, round and deeply emotional sound, that is equally intense when playing with power or quietly. And apart from his tone, he is a true creative artist, a writer of sonic stories that capture the attention and don't let it go. Both albums show a different face of Simon Rose and his art. The first one is epic and grand, the second is poetic and intimate, and both are of very high quality, and easy to recommend.

Simon Rose & Steve Noble - North Sea Night (Not Two, 2019) ****½ On North Sea Night, we get a duo performance with his compatriot Steve Noble, recorded in 2018 at the Jazz North East festival in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The first track is half an hour long, and it is actually massive, even if performed by only two musicians. Some moments are full of thundering violence, with deep plaintive howls, alternated with more delicate and sensitive voices. Noble gets a long solo moment, and it's captivating, full of joy, both technically and musically. Then Rose gets his long solo moment, again it's raw, deeply emotional, strong and impressive. This is free improvisation at its best: in the moment, immediate, direct, rich and unpredictable, without fringes or needless embellishments. They manage to keep the intensity going, even in the quieter moments, and they manage to keep the inherent lyricism of their music, even in the most energetic moments. Strong! This is a great performance, even grand, lifting music to a very high level. There is a level of purity and authenticity to it that resonates with your humble servant. We can thank Not Two to have released it, especially because both musicians are under-released. It's ferocious, sensitive and smart. Don't miss it!

Simon Rose & Philippe Lemoine ‎– Séance (Tour De Bras, 2018) **** On "Séance", Simon Rose performs in a duo with French saxophonist Philippe Lemoine, the former on baritone, the latter on tenor, and also a resident of Berlin. Much like Rose, he is an explorer of sound, like Rose playing with resonance, timbre, pressure, force and speed. In contrast to the duo with Noble, we get twelve relatively short pieces, each around three minute long - like hit singles - which each on their own develop a musical short story. In contrast with the live performance with Noble, the overall tone is calmer and more subdued, even if that does not result in less adventurous or intense music. Both saxes use all their repertoire of instrumental techniques, such as timbral innovations, circular breathing in combination with improvisational inventiveness to create a wonderful dialogue of intertwining sounds. The overall tone is incredibly warm, and the listener gets engulfed by this beautiful and strange summer breeze. There is no violence or sense of urgency, just the quiet and gentle embrace between two flows of sound, circling, merging, touching, very focused on each other. It's a dialogue which the listener is somehow part of, a privileged onlooker and inactive participant. The meeting is one of a merging of European cultures, its common history and topography, and the title itself refers to the different meanings of "scéance" in French and English: in French it's just a happening, in English getting in contact with the dead. According to Rose in the liner notes: "Seance signifies something otherworldly, extra-sensory and at the same time an everyday musical encounter". Be part of it. Listen and download from Bandcamp.

‘Fauna’ Simon Rose-Paul Stapleton pfMentum 2013

This is a great free music record, it sounds as experimental and furious as those than of the FMP / INCUS / RING era… but terrifically modern! … The first time the record is over, you just want more. With enjoyment… This is a best kind of improvised music, either you’re more into its global soundscaping or its very musical quality along the many blazing improvisations that have been recorded from this Berlin show. Simon Rose gets angrier while he makes his baritone bark (or trumpet) to some kind of gritty basses. Circular breathing is used to transform the sound or slide from one harmonic to another, with a great feeling for details and the ability to whistle at the edge of silence or for a contrasting loud outbreak. His partner has the solid imagination required to make his machine talk. The perfect independence of these two improvisators and their ability to play in such different genres and coordinate their efforts stimulates any listening (both normal listeners and musicians), and push the two artists to take off towards a permanently unsatisfied research. They literally do the splits in their inspiration but always gather on magical and unexpected convergences. This is a very remarkable duet. Many famous people playing so-called “free” improvised music don’t perform any better and sound any more interesting. Therefore, if you enjoy real free improvised music, with no additive, go and get this wonderful FAUNA and its authors. PS: Please do have a look on Rose’s Schmetterling, where he plays solo on baritone (Not Two) and Procession, on alto sax (FMR), who are two major records.

The multi-faceted “Felt” gives you a glimpse into a sonic world you never knew existed – somewhere between cave-days and the deepest, darkest jungles of today, inhabited by strange creatures you’ll never find in a zoo. I’ll tell you right up front, though, if you’re an “MOR” (middle of the road) listener, you’ll never make it out of the forest! That’s especially true when tunes like my favorite of the 8 on the CD, “Zwischenfall” are trippin’ you out… leave the acid in the closet – you won’t need it! I give this duo a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for those into the “far out” spectrum of music, with an “EQ” (energy quotient) rating of 5.00 – which, of course, means that they also get the “PICK” of this issue for “best strange music”.

Extended saxophone technique is just another term for deep space exploration and indeed, saxophonist Simon Rose is a musical cosmonaut. As a space traveler, he has released a couple of solitary saxophone expeditions on alto Procession (FMR, 2007) and a stunning baritone recording Schmetterling (Not Two, 2011). He provides a diverse and intriguing menu of tone manipulation, multiphonics and circular breathing.   With Fauna he shares the voyage with sound artist Paul Stapleton and his bonsai sound sculpture. Described as a portable modular musical instrument that combines a repurposed turntable, electronics, amplified metallic percussion and strings, the BoSS is part Blade Runner and part Plan 9 From Outer Space. Like Rose's serpentine routs, Stapleton's BoSS is a spluttering, droning, pitch-altering generator that is as otherworldly as Simon's baritone. The pairs' improvisations could be the migratory songs of android whales or the piezoelectric abrasions that develop inside an old timepiece. Without the visuals, the sounds constructed are chimeric fantasies.

Mark Corroto All About Jazz October 2013

Very fine collaboration between sax player Simon Rose and Paul Stapleton, who makes and plays bonsai sound sculptures. Nice blend of ideas and sonics between alto/baritone sax and metal percussion. Rich and thoughtful playing.

http://blog.monsieurdelire.com/2013/09/2013-09-16-fauna-jon-madof.html

Fauna is a wonderful mixture of two disparate instruments, self-compelled to find a bond… the fervent, alien textures created from a reed and a box of tricks are ear-prickingly inviting. For the opener, "Borealis", the duo comes out swinging with Rose's staccato hiccups and Stapleton actively rattling his machine (think prepared piano sounds). They swap melodies, ranges, attitudes and occasionally bisect points of interdependence with Rose carrying the last few minutes in a rapid, vibrating, pulsing murmur. On "Felt", Stapleton demonstrates his ability to deconstruct the notion of turntablism which he takes from mere abstract scratching to mechanical purrs to mouse song to dog whistle to electrical misfires; Rose is patient, fading a warbling ostinato in and out of tempi and dynamic swells. The duo is deft at keeping a tense bubble of intrigue on "Deep" and "Zwischenfall", where space and pause are incorporated to enjoy the whisper and spittle, resonance of bells and strings and rumble of thumps. Stapleton and Rose blend these techniques, incongruous colors and shapes throughout the disc, eventually closing out the finale, "Vertreiben", with a bulbous, static drone cloud. Stapleton and Rose successfully smooth out the seams and stiches of this Frankenstein with a sensitivity to their craft and each other while exploring an uncharted android aesthetic. One thinks about musical inventor Harry Partch who tried to find an almost more refined musical dialect, or replace Latin with Sanskrit as a baseline for his and his client's endeavors; however — and no insult to Partch — whereas he sought an extension, this duo looks for what's on the other side.

… British alto and baritone saxophonist Simon Rose, who also excels in solo playing, sticks very much to an acoustic foundation on Fauna. His partner here is Belfast-based Californian Paul Stapleton… The most traditionally satisfying of the discs here is ‘Fauna’… Although episodes of staccato flanges, ring modulator-like thwacks and pulsating vibrations are heard throughout, the sound artist’s most common forefront properties are aviary like chirps, jittery buzzes and string resonation…

Stimulating and outstanding is “Shift” which is built around the contrast between stentorian saxophone growls and delicate resonations from the BoSS. Here Stapleton’s interface is shaped into string-like strums and cascades as Rose exactingly constructs his tonal expansion from irregular pressures, vibrations and squeaks, culminating in a bubbling, circular-breathed exercise. Other pieces like “Felt” finds the BoSS’ premeditated shakes and vibrations causing Rose to turn to circular breathing and reed sucks, while “Zeiteinheit” concludes as a slow-moving exercise in basement tones as the saxophonist deepens his output from slurps and tongue-stops to shaking snorts in response to equally compelling aviary-like shrills from Stapleton…

‘The Ten Thousand Things’ Simon Rose and Stefan Schultze prepared piano. Red Toucan. 2015

Baritone and alto saxophonist Simon Rose and pianist Stefan Schultze met in 2013 in Berlin, and even if the first came from the free improv scene and the second from a more standard jazz background, their collaboration on this album makes you wonder about these different perspectives because it all sounds so seamless and integrated. On eleven improvisations these two musicians find a wonderful balance between ferocious destruction and sensitive construction, starting with their instruments, as the piano is prepared with all kinds of plastic sticks and bags, and Rose is a real fan of circular breathing, rhythmic tongue slapping, and other harder to define techniques, yet at the same time, and despite the obvious harshness, the music strikes a deep emotional chord, like a cry full of agony and pain, with vulnerability and even tenderness and intimacy. And that may explain the title, as "The Ten Thousand Things" is a Buddhist expression of all the things that make up our world, and their musical reflection gives us this: a myriad of sounds and interactions that make us feel these 'ten thousand things', with all their qualities, and complexities and simplicities and gentleness, and so much more.

What I love about the album is that the two artists have a strong common vision and they go for it, all the way. There's nothing half-hearted here, or no compromising, no crowd-pleasing treats, but only authentic and creative expressivity, like life itself, hard and real like life itself.
It is one of those albums which take you over completely, and because of its emotional power, it has been a soothing album for me, and listening to it dozens and dozens of times, the raw sensitivity of the baritone, the bell-like sounds of the piano, the physical intimacy, the sometimes violent percussiveness, matched the emotional need of your humble servant, at moments when he felt he wanted to smash the things around him while at the same time needing some consolation and sympathetic sentiments. Apologies for the subjectivity, but there is no other way to approach this music: you love or you hate it. This guy loves it.

Stef 2106 http://www.freejazzblog.org/2016/01/simon-rose-stefan-schultze-ten-thousand.html **** ½

… Simon Rose and Stefan Schultze come across less like mad scientists and more like dedicated epistemologists … and like the Lone Ranger and Tonto riding in tandem, for every extended technique exposed by Rose, from tongue slapping to atonal smears, Schultze has an approapriate response or goad, plucking, stopping, pushing and sliding along his strings, and with implemets such as bowls, bells and mashers vibrating atop them… Rose’s split tones allow him to play reed strategies that are simultaneously mellow and rickety or skyscraper high and copper mine low at the same time; while Schultze’s strategies create equivalent concurrent textures inside and outside the piano. Leviathan Blues is a fine demonstration of this. The pianist’s stretching the strings while percussively key slapping creates a rhythmic backbeat which expands to meet the saxophonist’s theme variations that likewise widen and become more dissonant as Rose plays. Altissimo reed agitation brings out equivalent kinetic key pummeling, until a simple pedal-push counter-theme calms the woodwind cyclone enough to move Rose to singular honks that finally meld with solidifying key vibrations. By the time the last note sounds at the end of this CD’s 11th and final track, if the two haven’t exposed the sound textures from 10,000 things they’ve certainly come close to doing so.

Ken Waxman Whole Note 2016

A great duo. Very happy that an artist as original as persistent and saxophonist Simon Rose sees his excellent effort in the company of "preparer" pianist Stefan Schultze and published by the celebrated Québecois label Red Toucan, whose catalogue of important musicians includes: Leander, Parker, Liebman, Golia, Brötzmann, SH Fell … Simon Rose has developed a truly remarkable personal journey into the saxophone world improvised Evan Parker, Coxhill, Mitchell, Mc Phee, Leimgruber, Brötzmann, Gustafsson …. The work of the pianist is also outstanding, powerful and expressive despite desired sobriety and avoiding discursive digitality. The piano is transformed into a sound machine via secret agreements and selected intervals… One of the finest albums of improvised music from the past few decades, - lyrical, uncompromising, communicative, sincere and emotional.

‘Procession’ solo alto saxophone (FMR) 2006

‘There are solo saxophone records, and then, there are the solo saxophone records that transform the instrument into an orchestra; effect is superseded, or rather transmogrified, moving away from virtuosic display and becoming an essential part of the instrumental language.

‘Procession’ is one of the finest statements from the saxophone I have ever had the pleasure to experience. Over three extended pieces, recorded in concert, Simon Rose proves himself a student history, but not a slave to it. Each piece is encyclopaedic and grandiose without pretence, as witnessed in the opening of the aptly named ‘Ground Effect’. Ayleresque vibrancy, honks and controlled shrieks are tempered by multiphonics akin to those of more recent John Butcher ventures, the overtones finally pervading the texture, themselves forming shards of sub melody. Beyond all that I never knew a D-flat could contain so many colours, returning at the end of the piece with new clarity.

‘Still’ begins on exactly the opposite side of the sonic spectrum, short sharp cascades of notes precipitated by hollow clicks, giving way to subtle streams of liquefied air. The mushy trills of ‘Wind Conditions’ exemplify just how much can be contained in a small interval, whether in pitch or timbral space. Rose darts between these universes with ease and consummate skill.

However, none of these descriptors can ever even approximate each journey, free but absolutely logical, the best blend spontaneity and improvisation imaginable. Rose seems to be able to turn on the creativity without any warm up, if indeed these recordings represent complete sets of music. The recordings retain the ambiance of the respected venues, complete with applause from fairly small but appreciative audiences.

A follow up disc would be appreciated, but asking for one almost feels like looking the proverbial gift horse in the mouth.’

Marc Medwin, CADENCE, September 2007

badland CD ‘Society of the Spectacle’ (2003) Emanem

‘Outstanding in its level of sustained excitement, the group combine assured musicianship and adventurous temperament, their decisive execution coupled with a wholehearted dedication to improvised music's intrinsic precariousness. An energetic kit player, Noble also sounds metallic percussion with great sensitivity. Fell is a powerful generative presence and a source of subtle enhancements. Rose wails with ferocity or teases away at convoluted lines that have an almost folky feel. Together they convey a sense of a creative process unfolding into genuinely dramatic music. A gripping release from start to finish.’

Julian Cowley, THE WIRE, 2006

‘The first two pieces are studies in controlled refinement. Pinpoint percussion, looping alto lines shaded with burred overtones, and scumbled arco are pushed to a simmer; ready to boil over at any minute, yet held right at that edge. The trio toys with conventions of the sax, bass, drums format as, for instance, the patterns of Rose's circularly breathed lines propel the music along rather than drums or bass. On the two-part title piece The Society of Spectacle, the surging Mia, or the searing intensity of the closing Reeds in the Western World, the three drive the improvisations along with arresting sheets of energy. Noble is in his element, prodding at the flow of the pieces, whether diving in with a well placed snap or crash or thundering along with an elastic sense of momentum. Fell seems to revel in this setting where, like his trios with drummer Paul Hession, he gets to flex within the context of explosive group playing. Even here, though, his keen ear toward careful placement and balance of timbres and density comes through. Rose's playing comes off particularly well. Here is a player who has absorbed the extended reed techniques of free improvisation, and channeled those rippling waves into a focused approach to phrasing and pacing that never falls in to showcasing or bluster.’

Michael Rosenstein, SIGNAL TO NOISE, 2006

‘The trio's newest offering is concentrated and expansive, tipping the nod to multiple influences with a series of microhistorical moments that still exude unified individuality. No proof is necessary beyond the opening moments of Part One of the title track, sequenced, Boulez style, after Part Two. The 'classical' connection is appropriate, as the patterns with which percussionist Steve Noble opens the proceedings are focused, loosely proportional and juxtaposed with authoritative silences in the manner of Varese or even of Zappa; a vague Orientalism deepens the illusory mystique of early 20th century panglobalism. A reflective silence ensues, only to be shattered, irreparably, by a jump-cut into some uhr-swing, implied but never completed by a quasi-rhetorical pattern on ride; bassist Simon Fell doesn't exactly walk, but his rhythmic spikes belie deep listening and the half-homage of improvisational camaraderie. Simon Rose breathes Ayleresque fire through a saxophone soaked, but not drowning, in vibrato and collective musical recollection. The slow build to fury is one of the things for which Badland has been justly praised, and Part Two of the title track rumbles and rises to a brilliant frenzy. More than anything though, SOCIETY OF THE SPECTACLE exudes luminous silence, huge vistas of space through which structures appear and submerge. Reeds in the Western World, a stunning vehicle for Rose, begins with such vast plains of no-sound. Rose is panned to the right, so that even when his Coltranesque utterances begin to shrill, blat and growl, silence hovers expectantly in the wings, only to be completely dispelled when Fell and Noble kick in, jazz style, at the zenith of Rose's solo. This disc is the most satisfying Badland offering so far, both for the excellence and commitment in the playing and for the freshness with which each moment moves to the next. Sixty-six minutes flew by, and I'm eagerly awaiting more entries in this trio's brief discography.’

Marc Medwin, DUSTED MAGAZINE, 2006

‘Splendidly moody, often quite aggressive stuff from a trio whose work seems to have undergone several stages of fermentation to arrive at this highly concentrated and heavily fortified result. This is improvised music at its most tensile, with the emphasis being on music (rather than sonic art or degenerate sound effects) as much as on improvisation; Rose's booklet notes imply a frame of reference which incorporates both free jazz and free-but-not-jazz, and he's damn right. Quite apart from that, I'm always in favour of anyone who sticks up for the improvisational usefulness of the sniping, whinging alto sax as opposed to its nearest relatives. I also like strident, close-captured arco bass and percussion which is played rather than flailed at. All in all, then, I'm doing well here. As a free player Noble is possibly the only drummer of his generation to underpin his exploratory approach with the kind of fearsome chopsiness I associate with Tony Oxley; indeed, if asked to chuck in my two penn'orth I'd say he falls back on controlled technical precision rather too often for my taste, but his reasons for doing what he does are probably better than any reason I might have for suggesting otherwise. To be bought at once, then played loudly and very often.’

Roger Thomas, JAZZ REVIEW, 2006

‘Powerful and twisted as he may be (he really knows how to bend notes out of shape), Rose can display an uncanny sensitivity, not unlike Paul Dunmall. Simon H. Fell's playing always seems to have two or three agendas; even the most instinctive bass lines hide alternate trains of thoughts that will surface later. Steve Noble's drumming is intense and multifaceted, an attention grabber from start to finish. Highlights include the short pieces Kittiwake and Elka, the raging Mia and the concluding Reeds in the Western World, featuring a gripping sax solo and a development that takes us very close to the American Free Jazz tradition.’

Francois Couture, ALL MUSIC GUIDE, 2005

‘Edith’s Problem’ Deniz Peters and Simon Rose (Leo) 2017

I sat and consumed the whole of the Peters/Rose recording in one sitting, I couldn’t move from the room. After over 50 minutes of music, my immediate response was to put the whole album back through the speakers and listen again… This review of Edith’s Problem is shorter than usual because I find myself unable to write anything beyond how absolutely bewitchingly beautiful this music is. There is an intense brevity in the construction of the Peters/Rose performance …The shuddering sense of this minimalist piano and the horns has sound-tracked me for days, as if I have a new pulse emerging. The nearest equivalent I can think of to Edith’s Problem is the terrific soundtrack for the Shutter Island movie made up of a mix of pieces by John Adams, Max Ricter, Lou Harrison and John Cage. Unsettling, scarred by beauty. Trapping the ears in the need to listen; a vast territory given up to ghosts and imagination. This is a recording which holds a huge amount of gravitas in a comparatively small space … Steve Day www.stevedaywordsandmusic.co.uk

… Rose recreates in a more restrained, more spacious and refined way in the company of the pianist Deniz Peters, alternating alto and baritone saxophones. Silence is an integral part of the musical construction and the interest of the game on the baritone saxophone lies in the tiny nuances of timbre, dynamics, density of the breath, these constitutive details of the music … Deniz Peters echoes the isolated notes in the space around the soundboard by subtly altering the touch, pressure on the keyboard and pedals… Each silence, every sound is weighed and carefully thought out and the vibrations of the breath and the strings die in the silence and reverberation of the piano … The music may seem austere but it emanates a real lyricism. After a series of sequences all in suspended and stretched sounds, a fifth piece introduces a tangential angularity and a form of subtle and moving interaction … a very rare performance. Jean-

‘badland’ CD ‘Axis of Cavity’ (Bruce’s Fingers) 2002

‘Axis of Cavity’ is their second release and eight years on, the three have dug into the sax/bass/drums free jazz setting and carved out their own take. Though they can roar along with full bore authority, there is far more at play here. The three morph the usual notion of horn against rhythm section into a setting for shifting fields of sonic events that still manage to careen along with rolling momentum. Rose tears into the improvisations with a quavering, molten tone, spraying sheets of notes punctuated with keening cries and hoarse, blasting overtones. But he can also lay out breathy, spluttering, percussive flurries during sections of sonic abstractions. Noble continues to prove himself to be one of the more inventive drummers on the improv. scene….. Here his drumming rumbles with peals of thunder and then breaks apart into pinpoint cracks and slashing punctuation. Fell’s bass playing is masterful, whether goading things along with vigorous, walking lines, churning out agitated lines of arco, or scraping scrubbed, free situations…
Each of the nine spontaneous improvisations is a compact study in the balance of brazen intensity and nuanced detail.’

Michael Rosenstein, SIGNAL TO NOISE

‘What’s most impressive on the album, perhaps, is how much musical range is packed into each track, and how different and eventful they all seem: some contain quiet passages examining a particular sonic texture at length (for instance, the first half of “The Scapula Angles”, where Rose’s saxophone flutters over the oozing drums and bass); some are sprightly, rapid-fire free-jazz (“Spinous Process”); there’s even one track (“Bow, Stick and Reed”) which if it were unkinked a bit further would sound positively mainstream…A similar process of encompassing musical extremes is also audible in miniature within each track: this is most obvious on the CD’s one extended track, “Surface for Talice,” which ranges from quiet insect-music improv to an exhilirating climax on which Rose plays with acetylene-torch heat.’

Nate Dorward, CODA

‘Altoist Rose is the dominant voice. He has some of the English reserve which John Butcher specialises in, but he hasn’t totally eliminated the melodic fervour and gospel excess of the black American free players. However what he plays is no forced compromise: he has his own rather dignified sound. The music is linear and fluid, with Fell and Noble suggesting sonics and textures which provide alternative environments for Rose’s central voice. Some of Noble’s clattering inventions and Fell’s spuming ‘walking bass’ are priceless. Extraordinary how clean and sober jazz can become and still remain, essentially, jazz. Special. A:1’

Ben Watson, HI-FI NEWS, December 2002

‘These British improvisers move forward with the intentions, audacity and forcefulness of a high powered rock trio, as they demonstrate a proclivity to mimic each others movements while exploring various angles amid blustery choruses and gushing crescendo…what sets this outing apart…resides within the bands subliminal rhythmic structures…bassist Simon Fell and drummer Steve Noble provide reverberating, at times oscillating undercurrent for the saxophonists macrobiotic tone poems and abstract discourses. Needless to say this band is having a blast - and it shows. They convey a profusion of thought-provoking sentiments to coincide with a brooding methodology that signifies an air of elusiveness in concert with a distinct sense of the dynamic. Overall, this 2002 release has quite a bit to offer, especially for those who think they’ve heard it all.’

Glenn Astarita, ALL MUSIC GUIDE

They can strut and burn, then shift to contemplative mood; line up small gestures then roll at full tilt; lock smoothly and glide, or grate and spark. Despite their menacing name, a lot of fine grained interplay and skilful dovetailing goes into the careful collective shaping of ‘badland’s’ music.’

Julian Cowley, THE WIRE, August 2002

The music fair blisters along, all three participants being on pretty fearsome form, and when you’ve heard it, it stays heard…Groups like this are about interaction, the on-going group dynamic. Badland keeps everything together but on the edge.

Barry Witherden, JAZZ REVIEW, Editor’s CD of the month September 2002

badland ‘badland’ CD – (Bruce’s Fingers) 1996

Put this alongside the most important trios in the jazz and improvising saxophone tradition.’

Francesco Martinelli, IMPROJAZZ

‘Vivid free bop from a highly accomplished trio who venture gamely out into new and lawless territory, bringing new ideas and a freshness of diction to this challenging idiom’.

The Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD

Realised with a spiritual intensity that could liquefy steel, Badland destroys every one of commercial music’s delusions.’

Hannes Schweiger, JAZZ LIVE

‘Badland can engage in delicate spontaneous interplay or volcanic eruption, often in the course of one short piece. Hear Mark Sanders’ great command of percussive pulsed and unpulsed options, bassist Simon H. Fell’s impressive extended techniques, and Simon Rose’s versatile soprano and alto sax. Hyena’s Finger rises instantly from near-silence to fever pitch. The band tackles tuneage too – there’s a meaty reading of Duke Ellington’s ‘Come Sunday’ and two versions of Ornette Coleman’s ‘’Sadness’.

Jon Corbett, DOWNBEAT

‘Sanders, Fell and Rose comprise a free improvising trio as forceful as anyone’s liable to come across.’

Chris Kelsey, CADENCE

A full blooded sax / bass / drums trio perched on the cusp of free jazz and improv.’

Chris Blackford, THE WIRE

‘It is the sheer range of this album that marks it out, from full throttle blowing through quiet lyricism to abstract soundscapes. The last two are neatly combined in what for me the pivotal track – a superb and surprising rendition of Ellington’s ‘Come Sunday’.’

Gus Garside, RUBBERNECK

“New World” by Rose Kellers Roder FMR, 2018

Exceptional improvisation with a dark underpinning and masterful technique from the Berlin-based collective trio of Simon Rose on baritone and alto saxophones, Willi Keller on drums, and Jan Roder on double bass, recorded in the studio and mixed by Olaf Rupp, for an intense ride through seven recordings with titles like "Human Head" or "That Metal Smell". Squidco, January, 2018 http://www.squidco.com/miva/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=S&Product_Code=25302

Here is Simon Rose, a baritone sax-ace and resident of Berlin, with percussionist Willi Kellers, (known for his work with saxophonists Ernst-Ludwig Petrowsly, Thomas Bergmann, Peter Brötzmann and pianist Keith Tippett), and bassist Jan Roder, (a colleague of Rudi Mahall, Alex von Schlippenbach, Axel Dörner). ‘New World’ contains interesting pieces, bewitching and completely improvised in the moment. It's no wonder that the saxophonist is on track: recently, he hit the headlines with two pianists: ‘Edith's Problem’ with Deniz Peters (Leo, 2017) and ‘Ten Thousand Things’ with Stefan Schulze (Red Toucan, 2016): beautiful, subtle, physical and uncompromising works: the art of marrying the primal scream with the subtleties of chamber music. ‘New World’ starts off with incredible power and an energetic breeze that harnesses the overtones of the big copper pipe … Willi Kellers is a subtle polyrhythmist with a ‘typing’ quality and musical imagination that he translates into exceptional sounds. He’s a real free drummer, with a unique identity - varying effects, employing accessories with subtlety. Jan Roder’s technical strength allows him to vibrate the wholeness of the double bass’ body in all its splendour. Each of the seven pieces has its own orientation, a distinct cadence and development … it is only with baritone sax that … [Rose] stretches the ribbon of his findings, moods, sounds, and greasing loops in continuous breath, creating a personal universe completely in phase with his two partners. Congratulations on this beautiful album that releases the free in "free jazz"... A new world.
