THEO LOEVENDIE THREE "STUDIO RADIO VARA, HILVERSUM 1967"



With all the recent postings of Theo Loevendie, I thought I'd hit the archives to seek out this set from 1967 which was aired on Dutch radio. A trio setting, Loevendie tripling on soprano sax, bass clarinet and piano. This was one of many tidbits from the early days of European free jazz uploaded to Dime in late 2007 by "sammler KK". A true treasure trove of rarities. More to come!

  2. Any chance of an upload to Rapidshare? Oron is telling me I have to wait over 2 hours to download unless I'm signed up to it.

  3. Wonderful Kinablu. To hear this trio again is a treat! I hope there's more Loevendie among the tidbits.
    Cheers.

  4. @Bill: That's the only Loevendie I have, but there are many other items from the same period which I'll get to eventually.

    @Colin: Rapidshare may give you less waiting time, but downloads are notoriously slow for non-account users and may drop off in the course of downloading. I'll consider other options.

    @Nick: That's what they are like.

  5. Fine, but frankly Oron seems the worst of all the sites you've been trying recently. Jumbo seemed to work well.

  6. kinablu, oron does seem to be very slow. If rapidshare is being silly with free users, how about Onx's Jumbo?
