This Guitar, by Derek Bailey

This Guitar

by Derek Bailey

supported by

John Cratchley This particular 1951 Epiphone guitar was one of Derek's favourite instruments,I was once informed...I don't know if he liked it because it was a challenge or a pleasure (probably both)... but I particularly like the sound (rich,woody tones to my poorly trained ears) and I am astounded by the conversations Derek Bailey elicits from it...each in a different key,each with its own 'humour'...
By the way,check out the French Rectangle label: it's full of wonderful recordings.

Drop me off at 96th

I've recommended this album as an ideal introduction to Derek Bailey's singular art for more than 20 years…what a pleasure it is to find it on Bandcamp, where I'm glad for the opportunity to purchase and recommend it anew. Tracks 1-3 find Bailey in characteristically flinty, mercurial form; in tracks 4, 6 & 7 you imagine him luxuriating in his instrument's warm, rich sound, and "Interlude" is one of his priceless accompanied chats. Consistently brilliant, with surprises throughout. Steve Smith

The Complete 15th August 2001
by Derek Bailey & Simon H. Fell

supported by 18 fans who also own “This Guitar”

I have the Sound 323 mini-cd that comprised some of this music (recorded in the shop's minuscule cellar performance space),so it is very welcome to hear the rest... It is astonishing music...Derek Bailey was so unique (playing the guitar like it was a found object but belying the incredible skill he brought to the process) and Simon Fell is his equal here (this is a true collaboration). Rare and special. John Cratchley
