MASAHIKO TOGASHI & MASAYUKI TAKAYANAGI "PULSATION" (PADDLE WHEEL, 1983)

UPDATE: New rip from another LP courtesy of Nick. Links see comment no. 16..........


The collaboration between Masayuki Takayanagi and Masahiko Togashi yields some music which is quite special for both discographies. They never played in such a manner before or after.
Note: The rip has a continous buzzing and during the quieter parts a kind of crackling. I tried to remove it - but to no avail. Yet it is still a good listen (sonically) and a marvellous achievement by the musicians (musically!!).
Hopefully it will see a proper reissue...

Enjoy!

Carla Bley Band - Live in Milan '80

"It doesn't matter what it is. I'm just a person who writes for what it is. It's written for jazz musicians. I don't consider myself a jazz musician at all. I'm not spontaneous. I take a lot of time thinking about everything and when I finally get an idea during a solo, the piece is over. So, I'm really slow. I'm not a jazz musician; I wish I were. I'm just writing for them, as opposed to writing for classical musicians, or as opposed to writing for cabaret or the other things you mentioned. Those are not the people I write for." Carla Bley

Art Ensemble of Chicago and the European Free Jazz Orchestra live in Frankfurt 1970

Some may recall that on the Church #9 blog, I contributed a rip of the "Gittin' to know y'all", a record on the MPS label that collected moments off the Baden Baden Free Jazz Meeting 1969. The gist of the title was the meeting of American musicians living in Europe, many associated with the Chicago-based AACM organisation, with a select assortment of European musicians under the general banner of free jazz. What I didn't know at the time was that there was a Gittin' to know y'all, part 2, comprising the AEC quartet with the European Free Jazz Orchestra, all happening in Frankfurt some months later.

So, for the sake of historical comprehensiveness, here is the piece, composed and led and introduced by Lester Bowie. He decided to rename it, considering the venue and the time, "Germany Unite", quite a prescient thing to say in 1970. Briefly, the piece can be divided into four fairly discernable sections. First is the opening with instruments on top of an orchestral drone backdrop, not unlike Gittin part 1. A quieter section follows with Roscoe Mitchell to the fore, here on bass sax. Afer that, a vocal section with Karin Krog and Jeanne Lee, both exquisite and freewheeling (the former was also on the Gittin MPS lp on a short vocal-only track). Finally, the ochestra shifts gear into a collective blowout, with Joseph Jarman in the foreground, on tenor. A couple of brief orchestral statements and the piece is over, a little over half an hour in all.

All good stuff and an extra treat for those who dug Gittin part 1. I sure did!

Billy Bang Vietnam Aftermath - live in Saalfelden 2002

With the death of an artist, there is, perhaps predictably, a flourish of online activity to commemorate the said artist. Billy Bang was no exception. About a dozen concert recordings have turned up and among them, I thought this one carried a special significance. This was the Vietnam Aftermath band, largely composed of members who had shared the experience of serving in Vietnam in their youth. For Bang and his ex-combatants, the project offered a chance to work with and work through the emotional demons generated by serving in a war that never was popular and ended in defeat. As with war experiences in general, what happened often remained unsaid unless one marshalled the courage to deal with it, personally or therapeutically in company with others.

For his and his co-musicians, Bang wrote up eight tunes that in various ways captured the Vietnam war reality. Motives from Asian music are mixed in with familiar jazz idioms, for instance in the theme of the opening track which also is the first off on this concert recording. We'll get to hear five pieces off the Vietnam aftermath cd, and as the band was called back for an encore, we'll get a sixth, Bien Hoa Blues. As Bang lived in Germany on and off, he gave a shot at introducing the band and himself in German as well.

This aftermath cd was followed up by Vietnam Reflections, though without Frank Lowe, who had died in the meantime and he later went on to collaborate with Vietnamese musicians. All in all, a very positive hour, and a proof that music can be life-affirming, in the case of Billy Bang, a deep truth and not a cliche.

Don't forget to pick up Billy Bang cds, many of which are still in print!
