Beauvais Cathedral CD Cover

Beauvais Cathedral
   Kent Carter (bass, cello, violin, viola, percussion)
   With special guests:
   Phillip Pochon (cello)
   Michala Marcus (flute)
   Richard Marechin (piano)
   Carlos Zingaro (violin)

For those that know Carter through his long tenure as Steve Lacy's bassist, this album will be a real revelation. Originally issued in 1976 on Emanem, Davidson does us all a great service with this reissue. Carter fills an important stylistic gap with this recording between the era of Silva/Grimes and Kowald/Guy. Very passionate and cerebral music. Comes with our highest recommendation.

"Beauvais Cathedral is magnificent...a celebration of the abstractness of emotions through the abstractness of sounds -- soft, loud, sparse, dense, free, and in constant movement." -- Milo Fine

"A haunting evocation of the spiritual." -- Carl Brauer

"The music is hones, free, in open form, mostly improvised and deals with the centres of energy and layers of textures, rather than the romantic sense of melody, harmony, etc." -- Tom Everett

"...a beautiful, mature album." -- François Couture, All Music Guide

Total time 74:00 minutes -- originally issued in 1976
