company- fictions 1977 incus.. flac and lame
An early improv purchase , thats long out of print and hasn’t seen cd reissue.
This is an often misunderstood album.. almost universally panned by critics who tend to miss the pervasive whimsy and obvious self parody.
In part it stems from the fact that each of the group read from Derek baileys book ‘improvisation its nature and practice in music’ as the music unfolds.
Nothing portentious or even remotely self important here though at times they appear to be hamming serious pretense..
Mengelbergs solo and interaction with coxhill( in particular) on side 2 where he builds an incredible solo which incorporates quotes and dissections of several Beethoven sontas,(including the’ hammerklavier’) seemingly tossing them all in a rhythmic blender.
Beautiful stuff.
Great to hear bailey, mengleberg,and coxhill together, I hadn’t listened to this in years .. what a joy !!!

Thank you so much for this one! I am a huge Bailey fan -- both the playing and the writing. That said, the man had a fantastic sense of humor, as evidenced on the final track of his *Incus Taps* record, entitled "Interview." For those who don't know, it's a fictitious interview in wch DB attempts to explain just what he does, but in wch he carefully manages to avoid saying anything at all. Wonderful, Beckettian stuff.
(Incidentally, if anyone can confirm that *Taps* is oop I'd be happy to post.)
thanks sotise for this--have a couple of company rips from volkan and they're all lots of fun
"taps" appears to be scarcer than hen's teeth if not OOP here in the states
Please advise of how you can link this to download thx .Taps is in print in the states

many thanks for this post. my daughter was listening intently and referred to this as 'free improvisations 101'!:))
Thanks!!!!!
Wow!
You have such astonishing music on this blog. I've been so intent on downloading recently and then gorging on these aural gastronomical delights that I've quite forgotten to post my thanks for a few days now. My ears just can't get enough. Thank you all so much. I think you deserve a medal, at the very least, for your work (if not great recognition and untold riches!!).
Thanks again (and again, ad infinitum).

Thanks very much. A fascinating lesson/listen indeed.
Bravo.
Cheerio, for now...
kinabalu, could you re-post this, please?
seconding that request
also looking for early LPs by Derek Bailey related ensemble COMPANY - kind of sad how these aren't available digitally
wish Derek's estate would figure out Bandcamp - there's such a deep back catalogue there for Incus that should be easy to buy
any chance of a re-up?
best Nik
