Weavil42CD – Roil – Frost Frost Ltd 500 copies
http://www.boweavilrecordings.com/roil.html

Bo' Weavil is excited to present the second album from the Sydney trio Roil. All three of the members of Roil - James Waples, Mike Majkowski and Chris Abrahams have been active in the Australian jazz and Improvised music scenes for many years; James is possibly best known for his work in the Mike Nock Trio; Mike performs regularly with such musicians as Jon Rose and Clayton Thomas; many people would know of Chris through his work with the three‐piece group The Necks. Together they have been playing as Roil since 2007, and this is their first release outside of Australia. Their music draws upon varied pallet; at times it comes close to Free Jazz, at other times to Experimental Improv, while also referencing other styles such as Minimalism, Reductionism and Ambient Music. A Roil piece incorporates aspects of textural improvisation, bringing extended techniques to bear on a collective sound world; while also being melodic and conventionally rhythmic. Bringing together the
abstract and the figurative.

Weavil43CD – Simon H Fell – Frank & Max Ltd 300 copies
http://www.boweavilrecordings.com/fell.html

Another Important recording that needed to be released was the solo recordings of Simon H Fell, one of the UK's finest bassist, although currently based in France, Simon has been and still is the bass player of choice for many. These tracks were recorded over the last 10 years, which was the last time that he released some solo material (a cassette release) on his own Bruce's Finger imprint.
This recording covers almost every aspect of Simon's playing, the rhythmic strength and melodic structure of his music, to the outer regions of extended tachnique.....eaking out all manner of sounds from his bass. It is a privilege to be able to release such great music.

 
Weavil44CD – Hession/Wilkinson/Fell – Two Falls And A Submission – Ltd 350 copies
http://www.boweavilrecordings.com/hwf.html


“Greetings, Grapple Fans” were the words that introduced Saturday afternoon wrestling on British commercial television when all three members of this trio were boys. These memorable words were spoken by a silky-voiced commentator called Kent Walton, who commentated on the wrestling between 1955 and 1988.
When discussing improvised music one frequently use analogies and there are three in particular that usually come to mind: having a conversation, making love, or wrestling. Wrestling seems particularly apt when thinking about the music of HWF as the group does tend towards a playful, grappling style. This irreverence i conducive to making good music and it speaks of their ease with each other’s playing that they can throw each other around and pin each other to the canvas, musically speaking. This recording was made during a reunion tour for over 20 years of playing together, and it is their first for Bo' Weavil. They have recorded for a number of labels in the past; Fell's Bruce's Fingers imprint and Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace, but this is their first in many years. Lets hope its the start of many more......
 

Weavil45CD – Alan Wilkinson – Practice – Ltd 300 copies
http://www.boweavilrecordings.com/wilkinson.html

Alan Wilkinson's first solo release ‘Seedy Boy’ was on Bruce’s Fingers from 1994, which consisted of a collection of solo recordings made in a variety of situations over a number of years. ‘Practice’ on the other hand is from 2 recording sessions, the first to mark the end of the carpeted cell Alan used as a practice space for some years in an old hospital in Dalston, London. The second is from the purpose built rehearsal studios. It seemed an injustice that such a great and underrated saxophonist should not have a CD release cataloguing his solo performances. So it was natural for Bo' Weavil to ask Alan to record such a project. The results are an outstanding number of pieces showing where Alan got the nickname “Iron Lungs Wilkinson”, while also showing the more subtle jazz side to his playing as on Ornette Coleman's “Lonely Woman”.

Also for those of you in London check out the Sotto voce festival happening from the 29th sept - 2nd October – should be great!
