Dear Riccardo,
any chance to get this gem via mediafire or hotfile? RS for free user is really slow!
Grazie in advance, Kike.
Grazie Riccardo, bravissimo Braxton solo concert. It sounds great. My best regards, Kike.
Thank you, Riccardo. I attended that gig in La Spezia and I think that your recording could be complete, since that night several bands performed in that same festival, as you can see in http://www.speziajazz.it/cronologia
The Spezia Festival has always been a very mainstream jazz festival. As far as I remember, Braxton performed there just as a last minute substitute for the Dexter Gordon band: otherwise he would have never been called to perform in such a conservative festival. And his solo show was quite a shock for a large part of the audience, who had to listen to Braxton while waiting for Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. In the following years, the average bank-clerk jazz-fans of La Spezia often mentioned that Braxton solo gig ad an example of how awful is avant jazz...
Thanks as always Riccardo - btw, track 2 (La Spezia) is "St Louis blues"
Thanks a lot.
Thanks @prospettive musicali for the details and observation. I could see that...
@ trane
not so sure...
Hi Riccardo,
Thanks for another great post of rare, unreleased material. Solo Braxton is always a welcome experience. Also, "La Spezia #2" is "Basin Street Blues."
Best wishes,
Thomas
