Eddie Parker was one of 1980s big band Loose Tubes' most colourful characters, and he hasn't lost his intuitively maverick touch when it comes to leading his own projects. Formed last year on the centenary of the French composer Claude Debussy's death, his 12-piece Debussy Mirrored Ensemble is a reminder of the composer's instinctual folk-grounded methods of music-making rather than an overly-academic approach. This is reflected in Parker's choice of repertoire: he's less concerned with Debussy's more well-known dreamlike impressionist larger scale works Instead he focuses on simple folk melody in song with chamber solo piano and flute, combined with his pioneering work that introduced new spacious and temporal freedoms. The material here is largely song, and veers between French Chanson, avant-chamber and lyrical contemporary to freer improv with vocals by James Gilchrist and Brigitte Beraha, a lesser-known French-language singer. The very capable UK-based band are a versatile mix of classical and jazz musicians and those somewhere in-between. One highlight of many is ‘Little Shepherd’, the charming piano solo miniature originally from Children's Corner that imagines a meeting between Terry Riley and Arve Henriksen with Jan Hendrickse on the mystical kaval, a chromatic Balkan flute. ‘Clair de Lune’, the most well-known piece here, is obscured in a cosmic vocal-led haze, while ‘Syrinx’ is reimagined with Parker's flighty flute and a whispery Serge Gainsbourg-type vocal by the excellent Beraha. An enterprising and imaginative new perspective on Debussy's music.
