"The appeal of ex-This Heat drummer Charles hayward's
mastery of performance does not seem to fade.
Thundering away over homemade backing tracks while howling abrasive vocals,
he theatrically halts the music and stares out into the crowd as if enraged"

 

 
 

CLEAR FRAME (new release 2008)
CLEAR FRAME Press Release
First CD from this exciting new combination released on
CONTINUITY…. (catalogue number TINU 001)

 

 
Track List:
1 Clean Slate 2 Tin Plate 3 Noise Gate 4 Void Crate 5 High Rate 6 Better Late 7 Paperweight 8 Figure Eight
 
CLEAR FRAME features four of the most innovative and engaging British musicians of the last 40 years. Lol Coxhill, Charles Hayward, Hugh Hopper and Orphy Robinson.
 
Each player has developed their work across a wide range of attitudes, honing their craft into a unique and individual voice. Clear Frame finds these four musicians in distinctive and dynamic form with a joyful free spirit at its core.
 
For this, their first CD release they are joined by the widely acclaimed Robert Wyatt on cornet.
 
Lol Coxhill: renowned veteran soprano saxophonist has played with the Damned, Evan Parker, Kevin Ayers, in a skip, with the gibbons at London Zoo, with sound poet Bob Cobbing. His playing is a living history of European improvised music.
 
Charles Hayward: played drums with Quiet Sun, This Heat, Camberwell Now and wrote songs for all three projects. Since the 90s he has pursued a predominantly solo career releasing a string of CDs, whilst still finding time to instigate special projects and to collaborate with the likes of Fred Frith and Bill Laswell.
 
Hugh Hopper: bass player for Soft Machine, his solo release '1984' remains one of the most distinctive and influential recordings of contemporary European instrumental music. His sound and sensibility are trademark qualities.
 
Orphy Robinson: acid jazz pioneer, former Courtney Pine sideman and Jamaica Allstar. His early 90's trio pushed compositional ideas out beyond Thelonius Monk. Since that time he has worked further in free improvisation, adding steel drum and live electronics to his vibraphone.
 
Robert Wyatt needs no introduction. He has long been an admirer of these 4 musicians both individually and collectively, introducing them on stage for their London Jazz Festival concert in 2004. It was at this concert that he first suggested playing cornet with the group, and this recording is the result.

---- Stop Press ----
"This is the problem, it's always the problem – publicity, promotional material.
What should I do? Build a cynical careerist narrative around the C.V. spine,
or declare directly a heavily critical sense of the 'scene', the 'market',
a declaration which only makes any attempt at 'promotional material' hypocritical anyway?
And yet I want to share music with you.
Sometimes ambiguity is the only strategy.
Overload sometimes enhances."

(Charles Hayward)
