What a long, strange trip ...

This blog is now in its 12th year, started back in February 2007 by Sotise, our correspondent from down under. Bundles of people have contributed over the years, some gone, others holding on and yet others joining and putting their distinctive mark on the contents and direction of the blog. Currently we have about half a dozen active posters and some very generous followers, judging from inputs to our contributions section, but we're always willing to recruit more. Potential authors can get in touch with us c/o our Blogger email addresses. We've had contributors from three continents, with a preponderance of Europeans overall.

The emphasis has been on the free/improv/experimental side of jazz, but with excursions into contemporary and classical music, from Europe and beyond. There are no rules, however; the blog is whatever the posters make of it, and we'd like to keep it that way. We focus on posting out of print material with the objective of drawing attention to music which otherwise might have remained out of sight and out of mind. Due to spam and some past experiences of personal attacks, we 've had to institute a moderator system, so comments may not appear right away, but they will be published.

With these few words, heading on ...

Contributions

Anything our readers and followers would like to contribute goes here. That may include recommendations, reviews, recordings, you name it.

The earlier contributions thread was unfortunately deleted, but we have managed to recover about three years of the last five years of posts. The recovered posts have now been moved to separate posts in the new thread. All links to files are working at the time of writing. If there is anybody out there who has found that their contributions are missing, feel free to repost them or if anybody has downloaded files when they were still available, the same thing applies.  Of course, we welcome any new contributions from our followers, anything that we and you should know about.

Requests

Requests, broken links, re-ups and related topics go here. It may be easier for admins to be attentive to these topics if they are put here and not under the individual posts. There's no guarantee that we may be able to respond to everything, but we'll give it a try.

I've deleted the previous 'Requests' post as it was becoming a bit unwieldy.
I shall start the requests with the last one from the previous thread.

Free form

Anything else goes here. Observations on the general state of the universe and its overall direction are particularly welcome, but also on more mundane matters as you may see fit.

NEW LINKS FOR OLD POSTS

Hi , Heres a new section , which will feature links to the Original posts of things that are just being, or have recently been re uploaded..
the Contributions and request sections are too cluttered , making it difficult to keep track!
comments will be disabled for this section!

Please help us out, if you see comments asking for a re-upload, and you have the files!!
(preferably use only file hosts accessible to free users,do not use these files to make money!)
Please do not ask us to re upload records which are generally available, or have been recently reissued, whatever the format!!

Surely it goes without saying that all views expressed on this Blog , be they impressions  delusions
reveries, political statements, opinions are ours and ours alone , Music stimulates the imagination, so switch off y'r TV, listen ... make up your own minds.

So here goes, I'll start with a few I have recently re uploaded

MiRAGE - Now You See It... (Compendium 1977)

This one is minor rarity for Canterbury scene followers. Steve Cook was bassist in Soft Machine (Alive and Well in Paris era), Dave Sheen played in Soft Head. Other two are also familiar names. Music on band's only album on Norweigian label flows in jazz/rock vein. Not my rip, found via torrents. I see now it was reissued on CD by Vocalion with 2 bonus tracks in 2007, but seems to be OOP.

UPOMING + RECENT RELEASES XVI

 I shall start with three long awaited reissues.

First we have Ian Brighton's 'Marsh Gas' with a great line-up :
Jim Livesey, alto saxophone
Marcio Mattos, bass
Sound In Brass, handbells
Ian Brighton, guitar
Roger Smith, guitar
Radu Malfatti, trombone
Philipp Wachsmann, violin

Available since December 2018, you'll get it from FMR Records.

The following two CDs/LPs are available since a few days.

Musicians are obvious on the first release. And on the edition with the pipe (Opium for Franz)  you'll have - apart - from Franz Koglmann, Steve Lacy, Aldo Romano and Stephen Horenstein also Bill Dixon and Alan Silva on the long first track.

 You'll get these two goodies through discogs.  Or through the label's website  http://www.blackmonk.at/blog (click on 'Mehr erfahren' und you see the contact address and the prices). According the label more is upcoming. Think about new and old Reform Art Unit sessions.

 

Almost only reissues this time. But at least this subtle new recording I would like to praise.

Here, one of my favourite musicians, Paul Lovens, has teamed with Hugo Antunes (a.o. Red Trio) and the previously unknown (to me, anyway) pianist Seppe Gebruers from Belgium.

So the line-up is percussion, double bass and two pianos, tuned a quarter tone apart.

Get it on vinyl or as a CD from the label  El Negocito.

 

Than I would like to alert you again about the FMP / Destination-out reissue series.

All downloads are available in numerous formats - lossless and lossy.

 https://destination-out.bandcamp.com/

Originally as LP it had three editions. One from Czechoslovakia (which was the first one) shortly followed by a release from the GDR and finally FMP / SAJ.

Produced by the rather unknown Antonin Matzner who played(?) also on this great recording. It is strongly recommended.

Others participants are f.e. Tony Oxley, Günter Sommer, Willem Breuker, Rüdiger Carl, Rudolf Dasek, Albert Mangelsdorff, Louis Moholo, Trevor Watts.........

 

This one is especially appreciated. Only two years ago it seemed this rare session with Danny Davis (of Sun Ra fame), Taj Mahal Travellers' Takehisa Kosugi and Peter Kowald won't be reissued at all.

One of the members had objections against a new release.

But obviously and finally Jost Gebers managed to get the rights for this download. 

 

Not only reissues are offered at FMP's bandcamp site but a.o. also this great unreleased session from 1984.

More music than fits on a CD these "minimalistic" improvisations are a treat;

played by Wolfgang Fuchs, Hanns Schneider (bass) and Bernhard Arndt on piano.

Joseph Jarman- Sunbound (AECO LP, 02)1976

We haven't had any commemorative posts re. the passing away of Joseph Jarman on 10 January 2019, so better late than never, then. This was his one and only solo album, literally speaking, posted in the early days of this blog. We will follow up with other previously posted items as well as material not previously posted here.

An obituary can be found here:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/11/obituaries/joseph-jarman-dead.html

An interview from 2011 here:

http://www.furious.com/perfect/jarman.html

and the offiicial home page here:

http://www.thulanidavis.com/josephjarman/


From the original post:

"Philosophically Jarman's aestheic is agreeable with the freedom loving anti statism that Anarchists define for themselves as Anarchy..that is social agreement with out coercion..NO COPS ,NO COURTS ,NO JAILS, NO TAXES."From the liner notes by Joffre Stewart

"Sunbound is a live solo performance by then Art Ensemble of Chicago member Joseph Jarman, and one of a handful of recordings issued by the band's own label. The Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) of Chicago had long required a solo concert as a kind of "final exam." Regardless of one's instrument, a graduate of this school was expected to be able to construct a cohesive performance alone, without benefit of supporting musicians. Thus, concerts like this one were hardly uncommon at the time, though to the wider public the idea of a saxophonist by himself on stage was still somewhat bizarre. Jarman has a significantly different approach to improvisation than his erstwhile reeds partner in the Art Ensemble, Roscoe Mitchell. The latter had an extremely structural view of improvisation, using often arcane conceptual ideas as the basis for his flights. Jarman is a more intuitive player, allowing ideas to flow in natural, lyrical fashion, even when blisteringly intense. Typically, he utilizes a wide variety of reeds and percussion, sometimes simultaneously, though the finest work here is on alto ("Universal Mind Force"). His abandonment of structure allows for some degree of meandering, and there are sections which could have stood a bit of editing, but that "excess" was part of the deal in performances such as this at the time and, in retrospect, are even part of their charm. Still, one misses a foil such as Mitchell to bounce ideas off, and the album, while generally enjoyable, lacks some of the depth and passion associated with the best Art Ensemble recordings. Recommended for AACM completists."

HERBERT JOOS & BERND KONRAD "SDR COMMISSIONS, 1978"

Here's a bit for Xmass - but please do not 'open' before tomorrow ;-)
"Farbspiele" is "colour play" in English whereas "Versuch 2, einem Traum die Wahrheit zu verschweigen" means "second try to hide the truth from the dream". ("verschweigen" means "to keep/remain silent")

Wolfgang Czelusta, trombone
Jürgen Wuchner, bass
Thomas Cremer, drums

Farbspiele for Jazz Group + Orchestra

Erwin Lehn Orchestra

3. Divana (Joos)  10:15
4. Versuch 2, einem Traum die Wahrheit zu verschweigen (Konrad) 10:31

Performed live in 1978

All tracks are compositions ordered by the Süddeutsche Rundfunk to feature Joos and Konrad as composers and to give them the opportunity to perform with larger ensembles.
- on tracks 1 + 2 the Stuttgart Philharmonic Orchestra and on tracks 3 + 4 the Erwin Lehn Orchestra, (which was the SDR's radio jazz orchestra at that time and included a lot of brilliant jazz musicians) - therefore they were also able to perform (besides their usual radio entertainment music business) in more avantgardistic contexts.
