YAQUB MALIK "YAQUB SPEAKS" (THE HOUSE OF YAQUB, 1980)

Yaqub Malik (formerly Mack Spears) .... who at 19 was chosen as the successor to Charlie Parker & shared the stage with Bud Powell, Duke Jordan, Elmo Hope & even the legendary Miles Davis....

About six years ago I got this rip from another blog. I don't remember from where. Probably it was El Reza's old blog.
But this rip is in flac (I checked it) and not in mp3.
However - thanks to the original uploader and for the LP rip.

Two weeks ago I visited a friend in Potsdam (near Berlin). During the two days of my visit he got the LP.
We listened to it and I've again enjoyed especially the first track on side A.
But the whole LP is thoroughly enjoyable. This is how I was reminded about the files on my pc.
I've removed manually a few clicks and one heavy point of blasting - that's it.

More info about Malik Yaqub you'll find here and here. Some more in Spanish here and here.

 

Malik Yaqub, tenor saxophone (A1 & A2) + piano (B1-B3)

JULiE DRiSCOLL - 1969 (Polydor 1971)

This remarkable album was reissued on CD third times, but none of it is recently available. Earliest One Way Records version sounded poor, next issue on Disconforme seems fine to me sonically - I prefer it before latest release on Eclectic Disc (I was hoping in another issue on their succesors Esoteric Recordings, but they seems to have different preferences). So here is Disconforme sound with scans of Eclectic Disc booklet w/liner notes by Sid Smith and song lyrics.
Not as much avant jazz, but really experimental songwriting. And first meeting of Julie and Keith Tippett, I can strongly recommend also their latest song based project - Nostalgia 77 Sessions feat. Keith and Julie Tippett on Thru Thougts label.

Large Ensemble, with William Parker ~ Homage to Butch Morris ~ Sant'Anna Arresi ~ 3rd September 2015

From a live RAI3 broadcast last night from Sant'Anna Arresi, here is the Large Ensemble with William Parker as guest on exotic reeds(!). There are echoes from many different elements of American and European free & improvised music, but also voices, timbres and rhythms that seem new, and which build towards a propulsive force in the final section. The encore is quite different, and equally interesting. I listened to the broadcast and was enthralled, and will spend more time with this over the next few weeks to listen to it properly - its depth, density and intensity demand that.
