Charles Mingus Sextet in Oslo 1964




















The Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) is in the process of digitising its huge archive of programmes dating back several decades. Among the items to be uncovered is this gem which should be of huge interest to jazz enthusiasts.

It is the Charles Mingus Sextet recorded at the University hall at the University of Oslo on 12 April 1964. A very classic Mingus line-up on this date:

Charles MINGUS, bass,
Eric DOLPHY, alto sax,
Clifford JORDAN, tenor sax,
Johnny COLES, trumpet,
Jaki BYARD, piano
Dannie RICHMOND, drums

The tunes:

1. Goodbye, Eric Dolphy, hurry back
2. Orange was the Colour of her Dress, then Blue Silk
3. Ow/Parkeriana
4. Take the A train

Altogether close to one hour of music and it is a particular delight to see Eric Dolphy in action!

More items to come from this archive as I find them!

TORINO JAZZ FESTIVAL 2015 David Murray & Lydian Sound Orchestra - Omaggio a Duke Ellington e Billy Strayhorn recorded at Teatro Carignano, Torino, Italy, on monday 1 June 2015 FLAC FM



David Murray, tenor saxophone
- Lydian Sound Orchestra, conducted and arranged by Riccardo Brazzale
Robert Bonisolo, soprano and tenor saxophones
Mattia Cigalini, alto saxophone
Rossano Emili, baritone sax and clarinets
Gianluca Carollo, trumpet and flugelhorn
Roberto Rossi, trombone
Dario Duso, tuba
Paolo Birro, pianoforte
Marc Abrams, bass
Mauro Beggio, drums

this would be better credited the other way round, meaning Lydian Sound Orchestra WITH David Murray, but that is how got officially billed, so... it is anyhow saxophone giant Murray paying tribute to the Duke Ellington & Billy Strayhorn partnership, and it's somehow predictable and occasionally brilliant... arrangements are more or less divided among Murray and orchestra leader Brazzale, and one track dedicated to deceased Marco Tamburini was also included in this programme.  Also included in this folder as track00 a LONG introduction in ITALIAN with bio notes and commentaries - this intro runs for 10'42, you can skip downloading it if you don't understand italian.

(00-radio introduction by Pino Saulo)
01- the Mooche
02- Caravan
03- Sophisticated Lady
04- band intros
05- un Capanno di Montagna in Mezzo al Mare [Riccardo Brazzale]

07- Chelsea Bridge  [arranged by David Murray]

12- Half the Fun
13- Circle of Fourths
14- intros
15- the Star Crossed Lovers
16- Blue Pepper  [arranged by David Murray]
17- In a Mellow Tone

running time : 99'40" (excluding radio intros)
WITH radio intro and outro it would be 111'08"

ELTON DEAN'S NINESENSE - Basel, Theaterwerkstatt Stadttheater, 24 Juni 1979



This comes from DIME and I have it for several years. I know some of you have it too. Ninesense are septet here, without Alan Skidmore and Harry Beckett, thus plenty of space for others' soloing. Sound is pretty good, although I was fancy to do a remastering during the years... Strong bass, very clear piano. I was not able to do full playlist, even with the help of some of you. It was also released as bootleg named "Feel", but I never saw it actually, except cover pic on the web.
