---------- press quotes ----------
"Two Englishmen who deal in the eccentric side of improvisation that the British seem to do best . . . . . rippling soprano and tenor . . . . . unadulterated honking frenzies . . . . . a pipe organ recital from outer space . . . . . (Fell) jumping around the piano keys like Monk. This is interesting music." Jerome Wilson CADENCE
"Wow! M.M. is like a portmanteau version of Compilation II. This is what music should do, and more so. Loved it." BEN WATSON

about
Charles Wharf / Simon H. Fell
Charles Wharf (reeds) and Simon H. Fell (basses) have been playing improvised (and composed) music together since round
about 1981. Sometimes they play together more often, sometimes less so. They have often played in a trio with Paul Hession (drumset) and very occasionally this trio has become a quartet with a second saxophonist (e.g. Alan Wilkinson, Robert Kretchsmar).

Music For Strings, Percussion & Electronics
by ZFP QuartetIf I had to choose one BF album that was freely improvised, I think this would be the one (but don't quote me on that!).
go to album -
I don't think I've ever experienced a more profound feeling of being guided by an unseen force than the day we recorded this 70-minute piece of complex and challenging music in one exhilarating take.

Composition No. 30
by Simon H. FellArguably the best of my large ensemble adventures - every time I listen to this I'm reminded of things I can't believe I did... But check out SFE's 'Positions & Descriptions' too, and make your choice
