Alternating Currents Live presents:
Paul Rutherford

solo trombone improvisations

Trombonist Paul Rutherford has been a stalwart player in the English free music scene since the middle 1960s, playing in, and contributing to just about every musical context in the past four decades from more structured music to the freest possible situations. He has worked extensively with the Globe Unity Orchestra, the London Jazz Composer's Orchestra, the Mike Westbrook Orchestra and a myriad of smaller groups including Iskra 1903, duets with percussionist Paul Lovens, Quintet Moderne, and in trio with Anthony Braxton and Evan Parker. He is perhaps most famous for his solo trombone improvisations and his 1974 record The Gentle harm of the bourgeoisie is arguably the best solo trombone recording of all time.

Paul Rutherford was a surprise guest at Woodland Pattern Book Center in 2002 performing with Lol Coxhill and Torsten Müller. Woodland Pattern's recording of that concert was released last year on Emanem Records in London as Milwaukee 2002.



WMSEThis concert is brought to you by the Alternating Currents Live series, broadcast on WMSE (91.7) FM, Milwaukee.
