Jac Berrocal - La nuit est au courant (In Situ, 1991)
Slowly, ever since we posted our first In Situ release, I have been trawling through their catalog, finding lovely bits of electro-improvisation and straight out improv. This is a modest release, but still one that should be enjoyable to you. Here we have a nice electro trumpet workout not dissimilar to Toshinori Kondo (of solo and Peter Brotzmann partnership fame). Whenever I think about electronically manipulated trumpet, and I think about 1991, I start to think about the last days of Miles Davis, and how it all could have been so different. Miles, pre-retirement, was an expanding star, unstable, uneven in output, but amazing in his brilliance when he hit.
