Ran Blake / Jeanne Lee - Stockholm 1966

cd rip, 320 mp3, Columbia (France)

Number 2 from I Forgot Clifford. Who would have guessed that Ran would out pace Cecil Taylor, Paul Bley, Don Pullen ? A traditionalist with avant roots, he continues to present solo records with harmonic deconstructions of standards and older tunes. His discs with Braxton, Jeanne Lee and on Hatology brought him into the free zone. Many loved the Newest Sound
Around disc with this pairing. I think the reason there were so many downloads on this one was because for many bloggers this was a new discovery. I found it in France.... Enjoy and predict the next in the top ten.

    Interesting find. If you like it, check out Ran's more recent recordings on www.ranblake.com, including his new album of solo piano, Driftwoods.

    Just a short reminder... the short Fulda live set is still active over on my blog:

    There's some more Jeanne Lee there, in case - do a search!


    Ran Blake's 2006 solo release "All That Is Tied" is just about to go OOP - it's totally, positively great! Carpe diem!

    Thanks for this unusual and beautiful sound. I'm a guitarist myself. I always liked the avant garde piano of Mike Garson on David Bowie's Alladin Sane. Recently I heard Ran Blake's new album with Sara Serpa.
