hi nick, many thanks for this great post. for me it's never too much of willem breuker kollektief. in my opinion it can be the european answer for sun ra arkestra. kollektief always mixes the examples taken from european classical music with free jazz and avantgarde in a very interesting and quite unusual way. there are still many kollektief albums released on vinyl only and never so far posted in the blogland. your record was not mentioned in any breuker discography that i checked so far. once again thank you very much. great music, really.
Personnel announced by Michiel de Ruyter on the record:
Willem Breuker: bass clarinet, alto saxophone Boy Raaymakers: trumpet Jan Wolff: French horn Willem van Manen: trombone Bernard Hunnekink: trombone Bob Driessen: alto saxophone Maarten van Norden: tenor saxophone Arjen Gorter: bass Rob Verdurmen: drums
The line-up indicates that the performance must be around 1977 (the year of issue of this LP), since both Ronald Snijders and Leo Cuypers are already absent. Just an idea, though.
Luckily, in the intro, the announcer identifies the musicians (but not the date or venue):
WB - bcl, sax Roy Raaymakrs - tp Willem van Manen tb Bob Driessen - sax Bernard Hunneking - tb Maarten van Norden - ts Jan Wolff - frh Arjen Gorter - b Rob Verdurmen - dr
all pretty much the usual collaborators in the WBK of the 70s - with the exception of Leo Cuypers who does NOT join them on piano for this session.
thank you, nick - also for the mengelberg/bennink set! :))))
the music is the main thing, the info is just a bit of extra for us weirdos to place it in history. mengelberg doesn't give a damn about recording artifacts - he lives in "the now". but since i'm not mm, i love to listen to the icp-box. ;)
don't understand why i try to download from any of the three sites provided, i get the just intonation toolkit but none of the Breuker tracks….any advice?
Michiel de Ruyter's announcements on this record always cracked me up. It also cracked Willem up... This is great stuff. I have this box set mothballed and I'm glad someone ripped it for all to hear.
Thanks for the new scans too, Nick. It becomes a real pedigree affair now with all the paperwork included. But honestly, that information is good to have too. Very much appreciated.

According to the promotional material in my copy of the record, this was recorded September 21, 1976, in Amsterdam.
