Recently I’ve have been listening to a
couple of Mike Nock albums - Vicissitudes from
2016 (which I picked up while I was back in New Zealand) and Climbing from 1979. Climbing was recorded during a fertile time for Nock - In, Out and Around (1978), Talisman (1979), Ondas
(1981), although I don’t rate it as highly as those… plus there’s Magic Mansions and Succubus from which I’ve only heard the odd track or two on youtube
- all very different albums. But variety is something I associate with Mike.
More recently there’s the 2014 Suite SIMA
(octet), Two-Out (duo playing
standards) and Beginning and End of
Knowing (duo playing free improvisations) from 2015, and now the trio plus
string trio of Vicissitudes (that I wrote about earlier this month).
Those of you who took a trip on Air New
Zealand during November 1993 may have stumbled upon this article as you perused
the airline’s Pacific Way magazine. More vintage magazine articles can be found here.
