Dive into the avant-garde world of Derek Bailey with his 2002 release, "Words." This 26-minute experimental journey is a testament to Bailey's mastery of free jazz and avant-garde music. Under the label Rectangle, Bailey presents a collection of 17 tracks, each a unique exploration of sound and language. The album opens with a series of spoken word pieces, "Words 1" through "Words 16," where Bailey's distinctive voice takes center stage, delivering abstract narratives that challenge the listener's perception. The album concludes with "Strings 17," a haunting instrumental piece that showcases Bailey's virtuosity on the guitar. "Words" is not just an album; it's an experience, a bold venture into the uncharted territories of experimental music that will leave you questioning and contemplating long after the final note fades away.
