Double Trouble (Barry Guy and the London Jazz Composers' Orchestra album)
Double Trouble is an album by Barry Guy and the London Jazz Composers' Orchestra. Documenting a large-scale, 46-minute composition by Guy, it was recorded in April 1989 in Zürich, Switzerland, and was released in 1990 by Intakt Records.[1][2][3][4][5] The title refers to the fact that the work was originally conceived as a double concerto for pianists Howard Riley and Alexander von Schlippenbach, joined by the combined forces of the London Jazz Composers' Orchestra and the Globe Unity Orchestra.[6] A second recorded realization of the piece can be found on Double Trouble Two, released by Intakt in 1998.[7] Reception
In a review for AllMusic, Brian Olewnick noted that the album "gives a fine example of what this group could do." He commented: "Guy deploys his 18-piece orchestra in ever-shifting groupings and conjures forth a wide-ranging array of thematic material that still coalesces into a satisfying whole... A superb recording... Very highly recommended."[1] The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings wrote: "the piece has a tremendous centrifugal coherence that balances the apparently anarchic but highly organized behaviour of soloists and section-players."[8] Writing for Dusted Magazine, Tim Daisy stated that Double Trouble was "an access point into a new world of sound" for him, and praised the playing of drummer Paul Lytton, who presented "a whole new vocabulary than what I was used to hearing; an amazing array of sounds on the drums."[9] Track listing
