"For me, Company is still the best way for me to work. It has always
meant that, "in company" as opposed to solo, just with other people,
really. The only thing I could say about Company is that it is not solo.
I always thought the name was anonymous enough not to mean
anything." D.Bailey

Congratulations on the amazing occasion of Inconstant Sol's Fifth Anniversary and thank you very much for this particular post, as well as all the others I have forgotten to thank you for since my last comment. I look forward to celebrating Inconstant Sol's 10th anniversary five years down the line!

ReplyDeleteThat's marvelous - a unknown (to me)Company recording.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
Appreciated! I had written to Bailey when I read about the plans for the 1977 Company. He sent me a stack of flyers to put up in NYC. The recordings of the various groupings of Company are favorites for me.
ReplyDeleteHi Riccardo,
ReplyDeletea great event that was for sure!
are we to expect more of the same day?
i am asking because i have a different aud.rec. with more material (+about 82 min), and also have some slightly deviant track information
(your track 3 DB+HB, 20 min actually looks like 2 tracks to me, ca.11 min DB+HB, and following other 10 min HB (on bcl, ts!) with DB and TH)
to all - send a signal if the addtl. material should be posted here, in which case i will try to upload soon.
cheers
Owombat
wow! what an amazing surprise!
ReplyDeletemuch gratitude!
...oh, and big ups and gratitude to owombat in advance
ReplyDeleteBless you Riccardo! Man oh man do I miss Mr. Bailey. Whatever it was he did, nobody else has ever done anything like it to my ear. On any instrument. The guitar was his vehicle, and nobody else ever explored the possibilities of that instrument like Derek did.
ReplyDeleteBeauty.
@ Owombat
ReplyDeleteHave got this recording in
a trade thirty years ago and
digitized just a couple of
days ago, keeping the same
tracks order of the tape.
Can't say this is the whole concert, so it would be very interesting to listen to your additional recording!
I still have to digitize another Company recording made the following day (March 4) at the ICA, same line-up more A.Braxton :
1. AB/EP/TH
2. MA/DB/WLS/AB/SL
3. HB/EP/DB
4. HB/DB
5. SL/TH
6. WLS/AB/HB
TT approximately 110 min.
@ Riccardo, this might explain things - my addtl. material says march 3 alltogether, but could be the concerts of march 4. Have to check later. if so, i can upload. anyway i think we have different sources, judged by the title duration times.
ReplyDeleteCheers, O.
