John Zorn, "Big" John Patton - Live Austria 1988

Looking back through the blog, I see that no Zorn recordings have been posted, which is surprising considering all the Masada and Bladerunner stuff that was upped at Church #9. I can't say that I like his more esoteric stuff, but this concert really swings.

Details:-

Special OlympiansSaalfelden Jazz Festival
Saalfelden, Austria
August 28, 1988
01 Unknown
02 Unknown
03 Unknown
04 Unknown

John Zorn - alto
John Patton - organ
James 'Blood' Ulmer - guitar
Bobby Previte - drums

Patton seems an unlikely partner for Zorn, being a veteran of numerous 60s and 70s Blue Note albums in the company of people like Grant Green. Ulmer was a member of Patton's trio in the 60s so maybe that's where the introduction to Zorn came about. However it happened it certainly was a worthwhile combination. Nothing too wild or adventurous about this, but it sure hits the right spot

    Kennytone, I think you are right about the date. The etree database has 1988. I guess somebody misread a handwritten date somewhere along the line. Thanks for the correction and the track details.

    't was me who posted that info on the other place. I think it comes from comments from more knowledgeable dimers - it's often useful to check the comments again a week or so after shows have been upped, many times you'll get additional info!

    boromir, thanks for this one - only just getting round to it.

    steve/jazzme - kinabalu is correct, c#9 was closed almost a year ago now. the blog has never been deleted but was "sealed off" to prevent us from having to strip out all the links from older posts. many blogs never got round to removing their bookmarks to it, hence the understandable confusion...

    hence the first track can be "Milk and Honey"。

    Is there any chance at all of a reup after all this? Either way, thanks for such a fine blog and for all of your time.
