Long Play: Contemporaneous plays Gavin Bryars [Brooklyn, NY]

  • Roulette Intermedium (map)

One of the experimental double-bassist’s best-known early works is Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me Yet, which uses a recorded loop of a homeless man singing an improvised fragment, with rich string harmonies layered on top. A recording of the piece was made in 1993 with Tom Waits. Here, Contemporaneous brings the piece to life again.
