FRANK WRIGHT WITH THE BLUENOTES- eidhoven june 21 1978 FLAC AND LAME



Hi all
Heres an electrifying gig by ecstatic honker frank wright with one of the greatest European based groups, the blue notes.
There is apparently some doubt that its wright playing tenor here, the first few bars dispel those.
This is a great concert one of the best ive heard in a long time.
Wrights at his most searingly lyrical, the bands pulsating fractured kwela and afro beat rythms suite wright ,amazingly well.
Im not a totally unreserved wright fanatic, but he and the bluenotes are fucking on fire here,and its positively joyous ive been somewhat depressed lately and this has really helped I felt salved after listening to it.

The level of wrights invention and mastery here is staggering.

louis moholo on this wow the way christian vander always wanted to play!! but couldnt.



The sound is about as good as a good 70’s jazz boot.
Which is to say pretty midrangy even quite flat at times, but the music’s incendiary.
Probably a broadcast , on a few occasions there are hints of oxide flake even tape erasure but they are brief.
Brothers and sisters prepare to be posessed by the holy ghost hope and redemption itself.


Ive ripped this 2 disc set to both low quality vbr, and flac so you can try it out and give it a listen before you balk at the big download.


enjoy
