Iskrastra - Bath Festival 1998
Here is a stunning concert from the 1998 Bath Festival, recorded from the BBC broadcast, featuring Paul Rutherford's Iskrastra. The music is astounding, moving effortlessly from relatively conventional 'big band' figures to extended free improvisation. The comments from the players are also very interesting.
Paul Dunmall, Simon Picard, Evan Parker, Trevor Watts, Elton Dean, Pete McPhail (reeds)
Henry Lowther, Jim Dvorak (tpt)
Rob Paton, Martin Lawrence, Richard Fox (fr horn)
Dave Amiss, Alan Tomlinson, Dave Powell (tbn)
Howard Riley, Keith Tippett (p)
Marcio Mattos, Paul Rogers (b)
Louis Moholo (dr)
There is a very interesting interview with Paul Rutherford here which talks briefly about this ensemble, here;

Fine one!
Date of recording is May 23, 1998, location is The Pavillion in Bath, the setlist is unknown, #1 compiles some statements from band members, #2-6 form some suite, #7 is the stage & radio outro.
If my files are correct, this comes from a live BBC Radio 3 broadcast.
Great choice, Tantris. RIP Paul Rutherford. How tragic that such a fine musician, such an important innovator / improviser, should die relatively unknown, broke and under-appreciated.
Could not get track 4 to play everything else is fine
Phenomenal group playing brilliantly. And all the tracks seem to be working at 11 + minutes into the 4th. Thanks Tantris.

this is fantastic! - many thanks.
If anyone is interested -
From large ensemble to Trio...
'ROTOR' is - sadly, now "was" - Paul Rutherford, Keith Tippett, & Paul Rogers (all here in Iskrastra too).

They became 'ROTTOR' when joined occasionally by Julie Tippett ('The First Full Turn' on Emanem recommended highly)

This ROTOR gig recorded Ulrichsberg Austria May 5, 2005.
It's an audience recording but sound is pretty darned good.
And there's some quite wonderful improvising here..
(w/ big thanks to 'tricko')
