OH!!! WOW!!! I had considered asking about this when you uploaded the Detto . . . Thank you very much indeed.
Wow! Thanks so much guys.
Hard one to find, thanks.
Evan forbid!
I sense we may be on a schlippery slope here ...
Thanks for these AvS posts, Onx. I bought these albums when they first appeared but haven’t listened to them in many years now, so it was refreshing to pull them out again. They were the good old days - when AvS was known to play the piano with a six-foot plank of wood, and when he didn’t give a damn about Monk. How sad that in his old age, he threw in the towel and became an embarrassing Monk revisionist, like so many other nondescripts.
Thanks for this rip, onxidlib! I dunno about glmlr's comment that Schlippenbach didn't give a damn about Monk. I think the GUO "Evidence" album is evidence enough - regardless of whether one likes to call Schlippenbach an embarrassing revisionist nondescript these days.
Honestly, I don't know where I'd be without you folks --- I am reading Mike Heffley's great book about German improvisation and while I have a modest collection of the relevant works, it is a great privilege to be able to find the Globe Unity, Petrovsky and other long-vanished LPs as I come across them in the text. Many thanks to all who have digitized and shared their precious collections, and to the musicians themselves.
Not to mention both Mr. Thelonious Monk and Herr von Schlippenbach, two of modern music's great composers. Since the death of Steve Lacy, I doubt there is another musician who has understood Monk's musical language as profoundly as AvS. And that's a project that could easily take one's entire life to accomplish. Did I hear someone hinting that this was somehow taking the EASY way out? :0
thanks for all these Po Torch goodies. This one is a scorcher!
Man oh man, I don´t have enough words to thank you guys. REALLY.
Awesome stuff, as always.
Thanks.
please a re-post
hello!
any chance to see this tremendous rip re-uploaded?
thanks.
Hi - we won't repost any of the PoTorch releases. This was objected and Paul Lovens once even asked me personally to remove the links (which was already done when he inquired).
It is a pity that these great releases aren't available anymore for a "normal" price.
But I know that PL still has several titles for sale. And maybe one day we will have a reissue. But as far as I know Paul Lovens on vinyl only. John Corbett (former producer of Atavistic's Unheard Music Sries and now for Corbett vs Dempsey) once asked Paul Lovens for a licence of some PoTorch titles to be reissued as CDs. And Lovens' reply was roughly along the line that he would prefer to wait for a better medium than those CDs.
Cheers
