Art Ensemble of Chicago - Eda Wobu


Since we got a little AACM flood going here, I thought I'd chip in with this one. This one has always remained a bit of mystery in the AOEC discography. It's listed as released on the JMY label, but very hard to come by these days. Found this on the fine free jazz group on Usenet and thanks to "Tom F." for putting it up in the first place.
What you get here is one close to fifty minute slab of Paris 69 AEOC in the original quartet format. Regular listeners to Paris-period AEOC would know what to expect. This has to my knowledge not been out in any other form(at) before, so it fills in a hole for those of us who do not like any holes in our AEOC collection.
It nicely complements the earlier posting of the Smith-Jarman-Mitchell concert from 2000, so listeners are advised to draw comparisons across time and space.
Dig in!

    Super - downloading now, thanks. I hope that the Nessa box is reissued soon.

    I have a 1978 AEC concert from Croatia, if it is of interest.

    Tantris,

    I'm sure you can go ahead with that AEOC one. I've got that one plus five others from Dime recently, but won't mind you doing the Croatia concert. Actually, Ljubljana is in neigbouring Slovenia, not in Croatia so the poster (or someone else) got their geography mixed up there.

    Thanks Kinabalu. The recording date for this is given as "10.5.69", and I never managed to learn if that means 10th May or 5th October. Does anyone happen to know?

    thank you for this, kinabalu.

    Thank you, Tantris, too.

    BTW: I'm running my own blog now. I have posted there the Braxton Quartet, live in Moers 1974.

    A little late but thanks Kinabalu, managed to do a quick listen this afternoon while cleaning up this appartment (I know, not very appropriate!) and this record seems great, in the style I prefer with the Art Ensemble. Made me want to listen again to "People In Sorrow".
