Roswell Rudd ~ John Tchicai ~ Steve Lacy ~ Kent Carter ~ Steve McCall ~ RAI Big Band; Teatro dell’Opera, Rome; 24th March 1980


In 1980, the Italian radio programme Un Certo Discorso organised and broadcast eleven concerts with several of the leading jazz musicians at that time, together with the RAI big band. Several of the broadcasts of these concerts have already been shared on this blog. The RAI3 programme Battiti has been revisiting several of these performances recently, including one that has not appeared either here or on Dime. So here it is - it's just great to hear Steve Lacy on such ecstatic form, together with John Tchicai, Roswell Rudd, Kent Carter and Steve McCall, and of course, the RAI big band. As little editing as possible has been done, to give continuity to the actual concert; any corrections to the setlist or other details are welcome.

    at least for me, Zippyshare and filchier have been corrupted by phishing agents, and no longer work, unfortunately

    Cool, thanks. Zippy didn't phish me for those 7 links, but I know what konjaku means. Great stuff, vital to my Lacy collection.

    Thank you, this looks fantastic. Minor hassle with the first download, then plain sailing.

    Do I need to be "signed in" to Zippyshare? When I hit the download button, I just get shunted to a commercial site. This looks to be some incredible material!

    To be signed in might help - a bit - I have an free account from Zippyshare. But I have also an add-blocker and I get also a 'shunt'.
    But it opens in another tab. I delete the other tab and click again on the link. Mostly after three or four clicks in one session I'll get the links without any obtrusion.

    First zyppyshare kept shunting me to different sites, then my malware exclusion program wouldn't let me in, then I get a message saying the files aren't there. Any possibility of someone putting this up via filchier or mediafire? Thank you!

    I worked around my malware program and downloaded 6 of the 7 files through the zippyshare links, only to find that they were all corrupted files. Not sure if I have any more options via zippyshare, but would still love to pick up on this rather incredible gathering of musicians. If a download via another platform is available? Thank you!

    Jazzhound - sorry that it's been difficult. Maybe zippy doesn't work well with too many files. Try this instead;

    Ah, OK, I haven't used mega for this before, so am learning - I think this link will include the key;

    Hi Tantris,

    Do you think you could reup this? The mega link is no longer working.

    Thanks!
