"Aarhus"

by Steve Hubback

This recording was found in a box of forgotten tapes that Steve recovered from his sister's house during the pandemic.The Welsh drummer is active in the jazz/improv scene since the 70's, and is a recurrent collaborator of european music giants such as sax player Frode Gjerstad or drummer Paal Nilssen-Love, but this is its own thing. Aarhus is the full recording - certain segments of the tape were too damaged to be recovered - of a solo concert in the city with the same name in northern Denmark. Volcanic drums tempered with electronics and extreme dynamics, from the most abrasive to quiet introspection. Imagine being there, in 1987.
