George Lewis Ensemble - Live in Verona '79
This post completes the documentation of a double performance by the G.Lewis Ensemble at the end of April 1979 in Verona (see AD/DE and GL/RT).
The same Ensemble that recorded "Homage to Charles Parker" for
Black Saint : the two long suites / compositions are clearly an
extended version of the songs on the album.
Special thanks to my dear friend Mr. Zero who recorded the concert.

Cool, thanks.
Thanks Riccardo. This is beautiful.
WOW. The excerpt is part of a live version of "Homage to Charles Parker," half of one of the greatest albums ever (and -- plug -- available for less than $2US as an MP3 download at Amazon). Thank you so, so much.
thanks Riccardo ,love that album so im Looking forward to this!
Thank, I have an mp3 (256 k) of this same quartet in Paris early March of that year and it is quite a good performance. Homage is one of my favorite records - they hit a beautiful ethereal groove on it...transcends genres like all great music should. d/ling this now, can't wait to hear!
@ waggadventure.com
could you upload the concert in Paris?
just excellent, thanks riccardo!
It sounds like there's a jump seven minutes from the end of suite 2 (in the FLAC).
@ matt w
yes, at 39'23" of suite #2, side A
of the cassette ends and the recording restarts on side B : few seconds are missing.
Ah thanks -- just wanted to make sure I didn't have a flawed file or something.
Thanks again for this lovely music!
Here's the Paris concert I mentioned earlier http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1P9L37NT. I don't remember where I got it...it is a 256 kbps mp3, so a lossless version would be preferred. This is the same quartet from March 5, 1979 - I'll also upload a quintet from a couple months later (Moers, June 2, adding Wallace McMillan on flute.
@ waggadventure
many thanks, mp3 but very good quality, probably a broadcast.
and the moers quintet http://depositfiles.com/files/mplwmyq9v

Thanks Kinabalu, you are kind and gentle, I listenede George Lewis with Anthony Braxton maybe an year or two after these concert and it was terrific music.Is there some recording by John Carter Octet? When I listened "Castle of Ghana" I searched all his recordings, but it's so difficult listen his music of those years live.
Thanks Jazzer3ogun
Thanks Kinabalu, it is a beautiful music. In those years I listened George Lewis with Anthony Braxton... terrific music! Is there some live recordings by John Cater Octet? His Gramavision recordings are amazing.
Thanks Jazzer3ogun
The re-up of the Lewis-Teitelbaum concert got me really excited about the whole ensemble concert too. Is there any chance for a re-up of this? Thank you very much in advance.

That was really quick. Thank you very much kinabalu.
Thanks Kinabalu for the re-up!
This is a really amazing show! I've always thought Lewis was one of the greatest foils for Douglas Ewart.... Loved seeing Ewart play with Fred Anderson,Nicole Mitchell and his own projects, also. A really unique voice for sure.
Thanks kinabalu.... and a cheers to Riccardo. Amazing document! And recording quality:)
BIG THX!...
The link is down again, could somebody re-up it? Thanks!
