Van Hove has made a name for himself as a leading piano and
organ player in the free jazz scene of Belgium. This new
project has been produced in France, however, in the very
famous Parisian church Saint-Germain des Prés (1997) and
in Saint-Pierre-Saint-Paul in Montreuil (2000).
Fred's famous huge sound creations can be heard on this CD as well.
The organist sees his instrument as a mighty sound creator and loves
to show it. Gigantic sound waves of mostly atonal music pour from the
pipes. Nevertheless, Fred van Hove knows exactly when to reduce the
loudness of the organ, to give room for the saxes which form plaintive
cries.
It is remarkable that the titles are called just "Improvisations 1", followed by
the next number. There are no references to compositions or songs at all.
The two artists offer an impressive, nonetheless a demanding music.
