Recorded live at Camber Sands Holiday Park, England on May 14, 2006. Featuring RICHARD YOUNGS (bass guitar) & ALEX NEILSON (drums)"At this 2006 concert, we have Jandek with a sympathetic rhythm section, and like a rhythm section that would back, say, a Lightnin’ Hopkins or a John Lee Hooker, they adapt themselves to the artist’s flow and provide a kind of pillowy environment or canvas on which he can do his thing. To give you an analogy from the free jazz world, some of the recent Jandek performances since 2006 are more like The Spontaneous Music Ensemble or AMM, while the shows such as Camber Sands are more like Archie Shepp’s rhythm section backing him on a 40-minute version of “Three For a Quarter, One for a Dime.”  That’s not a totally accurate analogy, but I hope you see what I mean (and for what it’s worth, the live HELSINKI SATURDAY, with Jandek on piano, playing alongside a harpist—and that’s harp as in Harpo Marx, not as in Little Walter—was my most-played album of 2009, providing the beyond-time meditative purity of the music of Morton Feldman or some of the more minimal John Cage “number pieces”)."
