The first 3 tracks consist of Mengelberg in a trio with Masada rhythm section, Greg Cohen (b) and Joey Baron (d) who were appearing at the festival with Zorn. The tracks are
1) Unknown (possibly Monk tune)
2) Well You Needn't (Monk)

Thomas Heberer (t)
Wolter Wierbos (tb)
Michael Moore (as,cl)
Ab Baars (ts,cl)
Tristan Honsinger (vc)
Ernst Glerum (b)

Tracks are:-

5) Unknown
6) Ellington Medley - Caravan, Mood Indigo, Solitude and the Mooch.
Dutch speakers may be able to make out the identity of the unknown tracks. There is quite a bit of conversation between MM and Bennink going on.
Thanks to seeder and taper.

I have flac versions, but it's a big upload and I'm about to go on holiday. If there's significant interest I'll post an upgrade in a couple of weeks.
oh yes - lovely!
i don't know the titles of the unknown tunes - the first sounds very well like monk, but could easily be a mengelberg original.
thanks, boromir for uploading this set - mp3 is good for me, and the sound quality is excellent!! happy holidays! ;D

thanks boromir... only just got round to this and i can't identify the first piece either, but although it's monkish, it's not his, bound to be a mengeleberg original i think. listen to the opening motif, which recurs throughout - that's basically the original star trek theme isn't it?? or at least it's close enough to suggest it was written by someone who had heard that and was toying with it... works quite well, transmuted into a wistful jazz comp for piano trio...
identifying track #1 was pretty easy (if i thought of it before!) - it's the title track to the trio's studio recording "no idea", composed by mengelberg. the cd was released by the japanese label diw in 1997.
Thanks for this, and all the other wonderful offerings at this truly great blog. I'm an English jazz writer with a blog of my own, and although I don't post recordings you may be interested in a review of a recent ICP gig in Edinburgh...

Keep up the great work, this is a mecca...
Maybe someday the older generation of tape collectors that are sitting on tons of "REEL" Duke shows would start putting them here for better circulation. Until that day, i would like to recommend humbly that you all save your lunch money and BUY the Duke Ellington Treasury Series CDs- they are beautifully done, very-informative, fun to kick-back and enjoy, important parts of the history of the music we all love.
Please: I would love to see this re-upped. Flac versions, any versions. But not on Rapidshare please!
thanks,
AC
A few years after AC, but I would also love to hear this concert. Mengelberg + crew are do some marvelous things with Monk and Ellington.
