UPCOMING + RECENT RELEASES VIII




 Here's a new edition of R+UR
I would like to point the headlights on two new LPs which were released these days.
The first is a reissue from David Toop's Quartz Publications. Originally issued in 1980 and brought back by the Australian label Black Truffle. http://www.blacktrufflerecords.com/
(We've posted it here some time ago but I've deleted the links some month ago when I got news about this welcome re-edition)

 The second LP contains previously unreleased music from Toop and his long-time partner Paul Burwell. Here the Belgian label Sub Rosa along with Logos Foundation is in charge.
Take a look > Sub Rosa

The third release I would like to alert you is due in March on Dave Holland's label Dare2 Records.

It will be a CD with Holland himself along Evan Parker, Craig Taborn and Ches Smith.
Exciting news for me.
Got the info from here.


And last but not least there's a scheduled CD on Relative Pitch Records.
No definite date yet but I'm looking forward to this recording especially for it includes one of my favourite drummer/musician: Tony Oxley. IMO he's certainly underrepresented on LP/CD/MC.


Arthur Jarvinen – glockenspiel, chromatic harmonica, analogue electronics
Sylvie Courvoisier – piano, prepared piano
Tony Oxley – percussion
Pat Thomas – cassette player, electronics, electric keyboard
Miroslav Tadic´ – guitars
Walter Quintus – real time processing, conducting
Bill Laswell – bass, field recordings, electronics
Mark Nauseef – percussion, electronics

To add to Ernst's post - there are two Sabu Toyozumi CD releases



Mui Shizen, recordings from John's 2013 Japan tour with Sabu, on Vivid Sound Corporation.

and


As If Once More, recorded live with Claudia Cervenca at Schnittpunkte der Musik - Limmitationes Festival, Heiligenkreuz im Lafnitztal, Austria, in 2015, available direct from Klopotec

Published 7. 8. 2014
 

Alexander von Schlippenbach Quartet (Alex von Schlippenbach: piano, Evan Parker: saxophones, Reggie Workman: bass, Paul Lytton: drums) Recorded live at the Hill Auditorium at the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, GA July 16, 1998. This concert was presented by The National Black Arts Festival as part of the (Re)soundings series, and was curated by Dwight Andrews and Brad Kendrick. Quite sure there were others involved at a high level, but it's been too long for me to remember.

A painter named Marion Brown

One of the most subtle saxophonists of his generation, Marion Brown was also a painter, but that is less well known. There is almost no information on this subject or even representation of his paintings. Recently for a radio program devoted to jazz and visual art, I met the lucky owner of a painting by Marion Brown, here is the reproduction.
