Free Improvisation
Potlatch 1998

This remarkable two-CD set catches Belgium pianist Fred Van Hove live at
Les Instants Chavires near Paris. One of the few aggressively freestyle
pianists largely free of Cecil Taylor's influence, Van Hove spurts
forth notes at rapid-fire intensity, with machine gun-like precision.
His command of the keyboard is awesome, and he alternately pounds,
rifles, and strums with unmitigated fire. For Van Hove, the piano is
chewing tobacco that he chomps, mashes, and spits out. His percussive
style complements a more melodic side, which resonates with two fists
pounding, followed by inside strings plucked, and the wood slapped. The
nonstop heat never tires, as ideas flow endlessly. Nothing, of course,
compares to seeing the unassuming Van Hove in person, but this album
thrills with almost 100 minutes of very special listening. by Steve
