In questi giorni ricorre anche l'anniversario, il sesto, della scomparsa di Keith Tippett (25 agosto 1947 - 14 giugno 2020): ne scrivono con affetto e grande ammirazione Chris Searle (su Morning Star) e Mark McKergow (in All About Jazz) nel recensire il volume biografico Mujician realizzato da Martin Phillips per Jazz in Britain.

Così Searle in 'A Bristolian genius of the keys': "Phillips’s biography is a work of love and deep admiration for a great musician, but it also expresses an intimate understanding of Tippett’s artistry and pedagogical commitment. It includes a photograph of them both walking along the riverside in Budapest. The author had set up a cultural exchange in the Hungarian city of Pecs between young Hungarian and Devonian musicians, with Tippett’s teaching as its focus. Music and education were entwined in Tippett’s life, and as Phillips tells us, he has left much for those who follow. Tippett’s influence is manifold and rare across many soundscapes, but in all his pursuits he pledged to his listeners: “May music never become just another way of making money! - with the key word ‘just’!” He was full of warmth and brotherliness, a feeling I still sense beneath his every recorded note."

Nuova occasione di ascoltare Louis Moholo-Moholo la offrirà presto la pubblicazione di alcune registrazioni effettuate a Londra nel novembre 2000 in duo con Larry Stabbins, incluse in un prezioso documento d'archivio prodotto da Jazz in Britain che conterrà duetti inediti di Stabbins anche con Keith Tippett registrati nei Maida Vale Studios londinesi nell'ottobre 1983. L'uscita del cd, in cinquecento copie, è prevista per la fine di luglio: il titolo è And the birds sang.

Jazz In Britain is proud to announce the release of And the birds sang, a collection of duets featuring Larry Stabbins in partnership with Keith Tippett and Louis Moholo-Moholo. Three improvisations recorded in 1983 at Maida Vale Studios in London by Stabbins and Tippett explore the full range of the players’ respective instruments, from gentle melodies to full-blown assaults on the senses and, at one point, a beautiful rendition of Cole Porter’s ‘Every Time We Say Goodbye’. Sandwiched between the Stabbins/Tippett pieces are four improvisations from a 2000 performance by Stabbins and Moholo-Moholo at that bastion of the London improvised music scene, The Klinker Club. These pieces again show how the astonishing level of understanding and almost telepathy that had developed between the performers over many years.
