The Morlocks and Other Pieces is an album by Alexander von Schlippenbach and the Berlin Contemporary Jazz Orchestra. It was recorded in July 1993 at RIAS Studio 10 in Berlin, and was released in 1994 by FMP. It features six compositions by Schlippenbach with dates ranging from 1983 to 1993.[1] [2] [3] [4]
In a review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek wrote: "With ten years between the earliest and latest compositions here, one can imagine how varied the program is... it's a wonderful collection of modern music that showcases even further the vast range of musical languages that von Schlippenbach has at his disposal."
The authors of the Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings stated: "This record establishes Schlippenbach much more clearly as a composer. It is worth comparing its language to that of the London Jazz Composers' Orchestra under Barry Guy, which is simultaneously more abstract but also more orthdoxly jazz-centred."
