Genre: Jazz
Style: Free Improvisation
Released: 2003
Notes: It is a pleasure to welcome John Butcher's Invisible Ear back into circulation on his own label. Originally released in 2003 as a limited edition on the Italian label Fringes, it has long been unavailable. For Butcher aficionados or followers of improvised saxophone, the album makes essential listening. Butcher has long been an intrepid explorer of his saxophones, and Invisible Ear is one of his more remarkable sets of explorations as he experiments with close miking, multi-tracking and feedback saxophone. Although credited to John Butcher alone, the listening experience belies the term "solo album." At times it is impossible to tell how many players are in action or if they are actually playing saxophones. (Read more at http://www.allaboutjazz.com/invisible-ear-john-butcher-weight-of-wax-rev...)
