A note from
Mike Cooper
: "Collaboration, improvisation, innovation. The remit for
Black Flamingo
. During the Covid lockdown period I started long distance collaborations with a team of friends and made
Oceans Of Milk And Treacle
for Room40 (RM 4176CD). A family of long-time associates plus some more recent and one that I have never met in person. All of them with a unique ability to respond creatively, in any genre or context, in a creative, spontaneous and improvised manner . . . Featuring
Geoff Hawkins
on tenor sax. Our 60 year friendship goes back to the 1960s and my first band
The Blues Committee
then on through the 1970s to
Trout Steel
and
The Machine Gun Company
on the Dawn label meeting up again in the mid-1990s on my
Island Songs
CD . . .
Elliott Sharp
, guitarist, composer, improviser from the Downtown New York music scene. We first played together in Rome many years ago. We have a duo digital collection on my Bandcamp site and here on
Black Flamingo
, Elliott plays bass clarinet.
Jon Raskin
, a founder member of
The Rova Saxophone Quartet
based in California surprised me one night in London by appearing in the audience at a folk club concert I gave . . .
Scot Ray
, slidationist; lap steel and pedal steel guitar visionary. We have never met in the real(?) world, only online. I am always seeking audacious players of both those instruments and Scot is a true star . . .
Michael Thieke
, a fellow parttime Roman parttime Berliner member of the
International Nothing
brings peace on the clarinet with breathy playing on this most beautiful of wind instruments.
Viv Corringham
has shared her voice on many past musical roads with me from Greek Rembetronika to an improvising trio with
Lol Coxhill
and
Soundwalks
in hills around Hong Kong.
Tim Hill
on baritone sax. We go back to my 1980s in Reading in the UK. Together we had
Beating Time
with
Paul Burwell
on drums and
Gary Jones
on bass, both sadly gone now and
Mayhem Quartet
with
Pat Thomas
on keys and
Neil Palmer
our improvising DJ both happily still with us. Then we started
Trystero System
which became a floating membership duo spanning several years and has included both Viv Corringham and Pat Thomas with myself and continues from time to time. Lastly,
The Migrant School of Bodies Choir
was the result of a workshop in Milan for a performance/dance piece organized by choreographer/dancer
Ariella Vidach
. The text is each member counting from one to 26 in their own language each one starting to count after the neighbor had reached the number eight. Most of the members were from Africa and shared no common African language..."
