Tetralogy is a two-CD live album by trombonist Paul Rutherford. Drawn from archival tapes, it was recorded in 1978, 1981, and 1982, in London and Pisa, and was released in 2009 by Emanem Records. The album presents Rutherford in a variety of contexts: two solos, one with electronics, and one without; a brass quartet that features trombonist George E. Lewis, French hornist Martin Mayes, and tubist Melvyn Poore; and a trio with bassist Paul Rogers and drummer Nigel Morris.[1][2][3][4]
In a review for All About Jazz, John Eyles called the album "One of 2009's very best," and stated that the tracks "give a good impression of Rutherford's talents and the breadth of his musical vision... Listening to this moving music, it is like he is still with us."[5]
Troy Collins of Point of Departure wrote: "these sessions detail how the trombonist incorporated innovative techniques, a distilled knowledge of jazz idioms and humor to thoroughly creative ends."[7]
A reviewer for The Free Jazz Collective called the recording "an interesting album for fans of Rutherford," and commented: "The non-electronic solo performance and the brass quartet alone would have made a great record. Now, it sounds more like a collection, rather than a unified listening experience."[6]
Writing for Paris Transatlantic, Nate Dorward described the solo set without electronics as "prime-cut," and remarked: "The density of event is extraordinary, the ideas cut into each other at a bruisingly rapid clip and every so often squashed down in half-strangled protestations, as Rutherford spars joyously with the quirky amplifying properties of his surroundings."[8]
