Attila Zoller-Masahiko Satoh, A Path through Haze 1971-MPS

In a completely different vein , heres a beautiful MPS session from 1971, featuring legendary post bop guitarist Atilla Zoller, Harmonically Challenging and at times tonally ambiguous ,though relatively straight ahead with lots of delightful free wheeling interplay,by Satoh and Zoller.

All in all rather reminiscent of  the material performed by a sensational mid sixties band led by pianist Don Friedman, that recorded a couple of albums for Prestige
the best of which ,"Metamorphoses" happens to be among my favorite records...(available on CD and well worth checking out)

To my knowledge this hasn't been issued on CD outside of Japan , unaccountably given its superb quality!... it has been around in mp3's which perhaps can still be found around the blogosphere.

this is ripped from a very clean copy , made by Teichiku in the early 70's

A Path Through Haze Mps (UL-X-38-P)1971
Attila Zoller-G
Masahiko Satoh-pno
Yasuo Arakawa-DB
Masahiko Ozu-dr
recorded at Teldec Studio Berlin, 7th Nov 1971

enjoy!! , and Explore Zoller's (and Satohs)available discography scant as it is, you wont be disappointed ... a great one of Zoller's on MPS that is available , is Zo Ko So,1965, with Martial Solal, and Hans Koller
Best S

PS, does anyone have the rarer MPS Zoller Satoh Duo... ???

Masahiko Satoh-'Yun' Solo Piano Vol2-1976

Here's another, superb solo piano lp, I know absolutely nothing about the circumstances surrounding this recording ,what i do know is that ive always considered Masahiko Satoh to be one of the
most distinctive , authentic Japanese Jazz pianists , a superb improviser whatever the Context.

This was the second in an early series of solo recordings from the 70's...

its Dense , and certainly to these ears Satoh seems to submit to and absorb the influence of Cecil Taylor(something i havent heard before on albums under his name) .. that said there is also THAT distinctive spaciousness which seems inherent to most Japanese free jazz of its day.

Pretty Sure though not absolutely Certain that this is not currently available , i welcome correction on that score..
Masahiko Satoh- Solo Piano#2, Yun
A-Yun part 1
B-Yun part 2
recorded at Columbia studios Tokyo-
6-3-1976
this issue ,Denon YX7502-ND

Enjoy and Best wishes for the New year to all!!

Produced by George Chkiantz & Julie Tippetts with Giorgio Gomelsky

Recorded at Olympic Studios, London, 1975

CD Air Mail Archive AIRAC-1115 (Japan, 2005)

This gentle and delicate collection is one of a few Julie's works, incorporating both songcraft and jazz / free improvisation. For further exploration in this field, I would like to suggest her appearance on Carla Bley's Tropic Appetites (Watt 1974) and more recent Nostalgia 77 Sessions featuring Keith & Julie Tippett (Tru Thoughts 2oo9). Despite being reissued on cd by Blueprint (1999) and Disconforme (2ooo) labels, Sunset Glow remains unavailable for long years. I believe this album may be a good article for reissue specialists Esoteric Recordings, who is actually going to release first two Keith Tippett Group albums with their usual care about mastering and packaging.

Love, Peace & Joy

Soko Steidle live at Natt Jazz, Bergen 2012

While we're doing jazz in Bergen, this is a collection of three videos recorded in late May this year during the Nattjazz festival in Bergen. Soko Steidle is a Berlin-based combo given to free improvisation and housing ultra-fine front line jazzers in Rudi Mahall (again) and Henrik Walsdorff with Jan Roder and Oliver Steidle, the leader.

These chaps have three cds out so far, the two most recent ones on Jazz Werkstatt, which you are hereby advised to run out and get. This was uploaded by Steidle, but obviously not recorded by him as he was playing, except for the first sequence which has them heading down Vetrlidsalmenningen and along Vågsbunnen with Walsdorff in a wheelchair(!). Practical jokers, eh? I always make a point of catching them whenever they are in town and so also on this occasion., being seated a little bit to the right of the stage. Keep an eye out for some superb Mahall leg twitching and Walsdorffian bohemian chic. A sure sense of sartorial elegance all around.

The Deciders live in Bergen November 2012

DecidersII from kinabalu on Vimeo.

A little more home-made video from yours truly. This combo played at the USF in Bergen as part of the autumn programme of the Bergen Jazz Forum. Put together by the bassist Ole Morten Vågan, it has a fine sampling of some of Europe's finest, Rudi Mahall and Axel Dörner from Germany (Globe Unity Orchestra, Monk's Casino and Die Entäuschung), Fredrik Ljungkvist from Sweden (Atomic), Jon Fält from Sweden (Bobo Stensson) and the leader, Ole Morten Vågan from Norway.

They did their first recording in chronological order, just as the tunes appear on the cd, which by the way is just out on Jazzland. This video jumps in at the extra number, composed by Vågan and hence called Extravaganza. Geddit? Thought so. Lots of humour in this music, lots of quirky changes and lotsa fun for those who were there.

The Deciders live at USF, Bergen, Norway, 9 November 2011

Rudi Mahall - bass clarinet
Axel Dörner - trumpet
Fredrik Ljungkvist - tenor sax, clarinet
Ole Morten Vågan - bass
Jon Fält - drums
