Open Secrets
A Suite in 13 Parts
FORWARD Records 2001
On his 1998 solo CD Flute Landscapes, Carlos Bechegas was applying extended techniques developed by free improvisers like Evan Parker, Derek Bailey, and bassist Peter Kowald. In the case of the last artist, it led to a fruitful relationship, as Open Secrets testifies. Recorded in a Portuguese studio in October 1999, this CD demonstrates how like minded the two musicians are. Their level of communication is exemplary. Bechegas integrates his voice in his flute playing, something that has become a trademark for Kowald, especially when using the bow. Therefore some of these duets sound like quartets; "Part 10," featuring the bassist's scary basso profondo, is simply stunning. At the beginning of "Part 7," it is the bassist who mimics the flutist, playing the high register. The 13 free improvisations are kept short (nothing over eight minutes), dense, and electrified. In "Part 3," Bechegas' flute jumps all around, unstoppable, while Kowald tries to keep up, obviously amused. The flute's flutter-like exuberance completes the bassist's more introverted playing to a surprising extent — they were born to play together. Some free improv records are inhabited by a magical atmosphere. Open Secrets is one of them. All the promises found in Flute Landscapes have been kept. This is the first release on Bechegas' imprint Forward, and his first recording with a renowned improvisor. Strongly recommended. — by François Couture

Cappuccini Klang
SPLASC(H) Records 1992
…this is a classic in improvised music played by expert musicians who have created a new music which is not constrained by the jazz and folk forms which they have used in this creation. this is pretty free stuff, but you will still tap your foot and rock in your chair at times, just not the whole time. in case you are interested in hearing what those crazy europeans have done to keep "jazz" from becoming a big yawn, here is a good place to start.—amazon.com
Italian woodwind specialist Gianni Gebbia receives excellent support from bassist Peter Kowald and drummer Gunther "baby" Sommer on this 1992 release, which finds the musicians deriving inspiration from the catacombs of Palermo and Sicily. With this effort, the trio performs 20 pieces that average three minutes in length. Here, Gianni Gebbia utilizes his arsenal of saxophones for a series of works that are constructed upon diminutive motifs and free jazz style interplay, supplemented by acoustic bassist Peter Kowald's densely wooden tone, booming lines, and Gunther Sommer's multipurpose, polyrhythmic attack. Throughout this curiously absorbing endeavor, the trio produces interweaving patterns, stimulating free bop-style swing vamps, fragmented themes, and sinewy undercurrents. On the composition titled "Meeting at the Vucciria," Gebbia overdubs multiple saxophone parts amid furious and rapidly executed soloing. All in all, the saxophonist displays an exemplary or perhaps enviable technique, brimming with orbicular movements, nuance, and an altogether authoritative presence. However, the trio's brisk pace and acute implementations of complex time signatures and assertive improvisational-type dialogue provides the winning formula! ~ Glenn Astarita, All Music Guide
