Label: Aspen Edities

100部限定の箔押しスリーヴ仕様!!3rdアルバムは重鎮Evan ParkerとIngar Zachが参加!!ベルギーのバンジョー及びギター奏者、レーベルSill andersの運営者であるFrederik Leroux、同国にてジャズギタリストとして活動し現在まで7、8枚のアルバムを残すRuben Machtelinckx、この2者による浮遊系即興グループPoor Isa。聞いての通り小気味良い且つミニマルな美学を追求するPoor Isaのスタイルに、対照的ながらも魅力な音色を放つソプラノ&テナーサックス、振動スピーカーを用いた独創パーカッションが程良い違和感として機能。1st、2ndと合わせて是非。







Acclaimed Belgian duo Poor Isa—comprising banjoists Ruben Machtelinckx and Frederik Leroux—returns with their third album, marking a significant evolution in their musical journey. Departing from their established duo format, this release introduces collaborations with two luminaries of the improvisational music scene: British saxophonist Evan Parker and Norwegian percussionist Ingar Zach.

Known for their minimalist aesthetic, characterized by prepared banjos, Poor Isa continues to explore these textures while blending traditional and experimental approaches.

Evan Parker, a pivotal figure in European free improvisation, brings his distinctive soprano and tenor saxophone sound to the collaboration. Renowned for pioneering extended techniques, Parker's dynamic and energetic improvisations introduce a compelling contrast to Poor Isa's introspective soundworld.

Ingar Zach contributes his innovative percussion work, using the Gran Cassa and vibrating speakers to create resonant textures. His approach adds depth and color, enhancing the album's exploratory nature .

Poor Isa provides a flexible framework, allowing Parker and Zach to imprint their unique voices while maintaining the duo's core identity.

Limited edition LP with a handcrafted sleeve featuring foil stamping on thick grey cardboard. Individually hand-numbered, limited to 100 copies.
